Two-time All-American Nick Marable came to Morgantown in the summer of 2014 and has helped coach Sammie Henson bring the program to new heights in his three seasons with the team.
 
He is an integral part of the recruiting process and specializes in coaching the upper weight classes. Marable helped in getting one of the top recruiting classes in the nation in 2015. He also has assisted in producing 10 NCAA qualifiers and an All-American in his tenure with the Mountaineers.

With Marable’s guidance, Dylan Cottrell (165) and Jacob A. Smith (197) spent the majority of the 2016-17 season nationally ranked in their respective weight classes, as both in-state wrestlers advanced to the finals of the 2017 Big 12 Championship. Cottrell, seeded No. 2 in the 165-pound bout, became the first-ever WVU wrestler to win a Big 12 title, as he defeated No. 1 seed Chandler Rogers of Oklahoma State in a hard-fought 5-4 decision. With Cottrell’s first-place finish, the Mountaineers completed the two-day event in seventh place with 50 points.
 
The Mountaineers also won their first-ever Big 12 match that same year, as heavyweight wrestler Brandon Ngati pinned Iowa State’s Joe Scanlan in the final bout of the match to claim a thrilling comeback win over the Cyclones, 22-20, inside the WVU Coliseum, on Feb. 12, 2017.
 
In 2015-16, Cottrell and Bubba Scheffel (184) each earned a third-place finish at the 2016 Big 12 Championship, as the Mountaineers placed sixth with 65.5 points. Two weeks later, a trio of Mountaineers qualified for the 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, with Cottrell missing All-America honors by one round.
 
During the 2014-15 season, the Mountaineers made numerous strides in moving the program forward. WVU defeated a pair of ranked opponents in then-No. 25 Bucknell and then-No. 18 Pitt, briefly making an appearance in the top-25 rankings for the first time in years. The squads win over the rival Panthers was its first since 2007. In addition, the team posted its best-ever showing at the 2015 Big 12 Championship, with four Mountaineers making the finals. Heavyweight wrestler A.J. Vizcarrondo became the program’s first-ever two-time Big 12 finalist, as the squad finished the two-day event with 35 points for a fourth-place finish.
 
Zeke Moisey (125), Michael Morales (141), Scheffel and Smith all earned at-large bids to the 2015 NCAA Championships in St. Louis, where the Mountaineers became the story of the tournament. True-freshman Moisey, who had started the season as a redshirt, upset four seeded grapplers to become the first unseeded wrestler to compete in the national championship finals since 2003. Moisey was the first Mountaineer to make the finals since Greg Jones in 2005 and was WVU’s first All-American since 2007.
 
Within weeks of joining the staff, Marable put West Virginia wrestling on the international map by competing in the 2014 United World Wrestling World Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. His spot on Team U.S.A. meant that every member of the WVU wrestling staff had competed in the World Championships. Marable balanced coaching and competing throughout the year, winning the 2015 Dave Schultz Memorial International as well as the 2015 U.S. Open.
 
Marable joined the Mountaineers’ staff after spending the 2013-14 season as the volunteer assistant coach at Missouri, lending a hand in the Tigers’ 14th-place finish at the NCAA Championships and helping two Missouri Tigers earn All-America honors, including true-freshman J’den Cox, who claimed the National Championship at 197 pounds.
 
Prior to his time as a volunteer assistant, Marable spent three years as the assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Tigers’ grapplers.

Professionally, Marable was one of the United States’ top-ranked men’s freestyle wrestlers at 70 kilograms (154 pounds). He was named TheMat.com’s Wrestler of the Week in February of 2014 after claiming Gold at the Yasar Dogu International in Istanbul, Turkey. Marable defeated the 2012 Olympic champion and two-time world champion Jordan Burroughs on his way to the title. The victory snapped Burrough’s 69-match win streak and was his first loss in his career at the senior level. Marable also won Gold at the 2014 Grand Prix in Paris, France, and Gold at the 2013 New York Athletic Club International.

A two-time All-American at 165 pounds for Missouri, Marable was a three-time NCAA qualifier and wrestled to a third-place finish at the 2008 NCAA Championships. Marable also garnered the Most Outstanding Wrestler Award in 2008 to cap off his run at the NCAA Championships. As a senior, he posted a 35-5 record, which included a 13-1 mark in dual matches, and became the 17th Missouri wrestler in program history to join the elite 100-win club.

Winner of three consecutive Big 12 titles, Marable finished his career with 116 wins, the eighth-most in Missouri history, and was awarded Missouri's Hap Whitney Coaches Award honor in 2007 as well as Most Improved Wrestler accolades in 2008.

The Collierville, Tennessee, native graduated from Missouri in the spring of 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
