"We are excited to add Layne to our program," Dresser said. "I was very impressed with his energy and positive outlook on this opportunity throughout the hiring process. Layne will be a great asset in our room with our young upper weights and we can't wait for him to get to work. Welcome to Ames, Layne!"

Malczewski, a five-time NCAA Qualifier for Michigan State, compiled a 104-49 record in five seasons with the Spartans. His 104 victories rank 19^th in MSU history while his 29 career falls rank eighth in program history.

The Macomb, Mich. native was a four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and National Wrestling Coaches Association Scholar All-American.

Malczewski earned his bachelor's degree in human capital and society from Michigan State in 2022.
