Perrelli issued this statement on his social media.
"I missed the atmosphere at Cornell. Ithaca is a very unique place. It will be fun to feel that same energy I felt in college, but with a different perspective. Instead of working on my own wrestling and being a leader of the team, I can't wait to help other guys improve and lead from the sidelines."

He has placed as high as second at the U.S. Senior Nationals in freestyle and has numerous national and international achievements.
