Lyle Yost Bridges Rivalry Divide as New Michigan Assistant Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio State\u2019s NCAA champion diver Lyle Yost<\/strong> is bridging the classic Big Ten rivalry, hired on Thursday as an assistant diving coach by Michigan.<\/p>\n

Yost\u2019s college career ended in 2024. He spent the 2024-25 season as an assistant coach at his alma mater<\/a>, leading six Buckeyes men\u2019s and women\u2019s divers to the NCAA Championships in 2025.<\/p>\n

Yost won the NCAA title in 1-meter diving in 2023 and 2024<\/a>. He was an All-American on all three heights in 2023, earning the CSCAA\u2019s Diver of the Year award.<\/p>\n

He teams up with another exceptionally decorated diver in Purdue great Brandon Loschiavo<\/strong>, Michigan\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n

“Lyle will be an incredible asset to the Michigan team,” Loschiavo said in a press release<\/a>. “Not only will he be a leader on the boards himself and a pro athlete, but he will have the ability to guide our athletes through years of experience on the competition and coaching sides. I couldn’t be happier having him be a part of this program and I’m excited to see where we’re able to take Michigan in these proceeding years.”<\/p>\n

Yost has international experience, twice competing at the World Aquatics Championships. He competed at Olympic Trials in 2024 and won a U.S. Open title on 1-meter in 2022.<\/p>\n

She Shaker Heights, Ohio, native left Columbus with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Spanish and a master\u2019s degree in world language education. Yost was a four-time CSCAA Scholar All-America and four-time Academic All-Big Ten, as well as a Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient and Arthur Ashe Jr. Male Sports Scholar of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
