Rex Kendle
Hailing from Edwardsburg, Mich., head coach Rex Kendle was a four-time Big Ten Academic All-American wrestler at Michigan State University. While earning his B.S. in biological sciences, he captained the Spartan team and was an NCAA national qualifier and an Academic All-American in 2009. After serving as an assistant coach, Kendle was named the head coach in 2020.
"I love my job as a classroom teacher and as a coach," says Kendle. "At Baylor, I get to do both at a very high level which is a situation that is hard to come by - the best of both worlds. I can develop strong relationships with Baylor's student-athletes because I see them in more than one realm of their school lives."
"A good coach must be able to push the right buttons to help his athletes achieve competitive greatness," continues Kendle. "The key is developing relationships with the athletes and then guiding them and pushing them harder than they thought possible. Most human beings are not capable of reaching their potential without help, and that's where a good coach comes in. Their potential may be a state champ, or it may be NCAA All-American. I believe Baylor has program that can help kids get to the next level."
