This program helped shape who I am, both in and out of the pool, and I&#8217;m honored to return to a place that means so much to me. I&#8217;m excited to work alongside Coach Holloway and the staff to continue the standard of excellence that has been built here.

He began his coaching career with the mid-distance and sprint groups at Virginia Tech, helping the Hokies finish 11th at NCAAs in 2021. He went from there to Dartmouth, part of a rebuilt staff for the Ivy League squad. He made the jump to Duke ahead of the 2023-24 season, helping the Blue Devils finish 16th at NCAAs in 2024, the best in program history. Duke was 21st at NCAAs in both 2025 and 2026 on the women\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bringing Daniel Graber back to the Wolfpack is a big win for our program,&#8221; Holloway said. &#8220;He&#8217;s the kind of person you want around your team\u2014smart, driven, and fully invested in what it means to wear NC State. His experience, work ethic, and drive will make a difference from day one. It&#8217;s always special when one of our own comes home, Daniel was a tremendous student-athlete here, and he embodies the pride that defines the Wolfpack. He connects naturally with people\u2014we&#8217;re excited to have him back on deck with us.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NC State Adds Alum Daniel Graber as Assistant
