ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- Wyatt DeMulling, most recently an assistant coach at the University of Oregon, has been named assistant coach for UNM Men’s Tennis, announced head coach Rob Bareford.
Last year with Oregon, the Ducks went 14-11 as DeMulling working under head coach Nils Schyllander and associate head coach Arron Spencer.
"We're happy to announce the hiring of Wyatt DeMulling,” said Bareford. “With his playing and coaching experience, we are confident he will help elevate the Men's Tennis program in all facets.”
A native of Seattle, Washington, DeMulling played at the Boeing Employees Tennis Club in Kent, playing junior-level national tournaments. DeMulling is very familiar with UNM and the Mountain West, having played at Boise State, where he was named All-Mountain West in singles in 2020. DeMulling played as high as No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles, recording 65 singles victories in his career. He also played one season at Irvine Valley College, earning ITA All-America honors in both singles and doubles.
After college, he played on tour from 2021 to 2023, achieving an ATP ranking of 1844.
His coaching experience began after his time on tour, traveling with ATP professional Lawrence Sciglitano. With Sciglitano, DeMulling was responsible for match strategy, match analysis, and mental preparation. During this time, he coached him to a doubles title in 2023. He then moved to his home tennis club at BETC, where he held a critical role in the high-performance program, developing players who wanted to pursue college tennis.
Said Schyllander of DeMulling, “In Wyatt DeMulling, the Lobos have hired a very dedicated and up-and-coming coach that puts the student-athlete first. After a year in the Big Ten, he has a complete understanding of college tennis at the highest level. Wyatt will have an immediate impact on the Lobo program and the student-athlete experience.”
