Jordan Roths is returning to the Peacock wrestling room at Upper Iowa University as an assistant coach. Roths comes back to Fayette and Upper Iowa after two seasons as an assistant wrestling coach at Indian Hills Community College in Centerville, Iowa. Roths was a part of the UIU wrestling coaching staff for three seasons (2017-20) after spending his undergraduate years in a Peacock singlet.
 
"I'm very excited to welcome Jordan back as the head assistant coach," said UIU Head Wrestling Coach Heath Grimm. "It should be noted that Indian Hills Community College Head Coach Cole Spree did a fantastic job working with him the past few seasons. Jordan brings a strong work ethic and a passion for Peacock wrestling that is tough to match. I'm fired up and ready to start the season now!"
 
Over the past two seasons, Roths helped to lead the Warrior wrestling program, which did not exist prior to the 2020-21 season, to a pair of eighth-place finishes at NJCAA Championships. The Warriors boasted five top-eight place winners in each of the two Championships. This past March, Indian Hills claimed a second-place and third-place spot on the individual weight class podiums.
 
"I'm excited to get back to a program that gave so much to me and hopefully contribute new ideas and approaches to the program," said Roths. "I would not be in this position without those who helped me throughout my career and I want to specifically thank Cole Spree for the last two years at Indian Hills. I think the last couple of years with a different program, and a different collegiate level, have given me a huge opportunity to grow and acquire new skills and approaches. I can't wait to see how that will come into play in Fayette. Upper Iowa is a special place, and I'm excited to be back in northeast Iowa. I also want to thank our Vice President of Athletics, Rick Hartzell, and Heath Grimm for bringing me back to UIU. I'm ready for some great things to happen this season, and I'm thankful to be given the opportunity to continue coaching and contributing to a program like UIU!"
 
Roths began his coaching career at Upper Iowa where he helped lead the Peacocks to a fourth-place finish at the 2018 NCAA DII Championships. In his three seasons on staff at UIU, he helped coach 10 All-Americans.
 
The former 141-pounder posted 91 wins for Upper Iowa and was anchored in the Peacock starting lineup for four straight years. Roths qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships in 2014 as a redshirt freshman and in 2017 as a redshirt senior. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in exercise and sports studies from Upper Iowa in 2017.
