Washington & Jefferson College Athletics

Nick Daza was born in Bogota, Colombia and immigrated to the United States with his parents at three years old.

He attended South Brunswick high school in New Jersey where he was a District Champion, 3X region qualifier and 2X County All Star. After graduating, he committed to wrestle at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. While at Muhlenberg, Daza was an NCAA Scholar All-American and competed overseas, taking third at the Copa Sparta invitational in Puerto Rico. 

He majored in Political Science with a double minor in Business and Religion Studies. Upon graduating from college, he volunteered as a coach at Muhlenberg and founded a nonprofit to help provide opportunities to wrestlers  from underserved communities.

“Wrestling changed my life and provided me with the opportunity to be a first generation college graduate and make my family proud. I know I wouldn’t be the person I am today without it and that’s why I am so passionate about giving back to the sport.”
