(The Fighting Irish were suspended from competition last year due to gambling withing the program.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m truly thankful to Braden for this incredible opportunity and for the warm welcome my family and I have received from Wolfpack Nation,\u201d Stanfield said <a href=\"https:\/\/gopack.com\/news\/2025\/7\/12\/swimming-wolfpack-announce-josh-stanfield-as-new-assistant-coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a university press release<\/a>. &#8220;NC State stands among the elite programs in the country, consistently competing at the highest levels both nationally and internationally.

The Blue Devils\u2019 women\u2019s team matched their best ACC Championships finish (fifth) in 2022 and finished 24th at NCAAs. They also qualified 10 swimmers to the cancelled 2020 NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Stanfield swam at Southwestern University in Texas. The Huntsville, Texas, native graduated in 2011 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in kinesiology. He served as a volunteer assistant at his alma mater, while also coaching age-groupers at Nitro Swimming. He spent five seasons as an assistant coach and one as an associate head coach at Gardner Webb University.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re proud to welcome Josh Stanfield\u2014 a coach who brings vision, passion, and a relentless drive to help us rise to the next level,\u201d NC State head coach <strong>Braden Holloway<\/strong> said. &#8220;With a proven track record of excellence, a passion for developing athletes in and out of the pool, and a vision that aligns with our core values, Josh brings the energy, experience, and integrity needed to help us move into our next chapter.\u00a0 We are excited to welcome Josh, his wife Kristin, and their son Hayden to Wolfpack Nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NC State Hires Josh Stanfield as Assistant Coach NC State on Saturday announced the hiring of Josh Stanfield as an assistant coach on the swimming and diving staff.
