Johnni DiJulius Biography

Johnni DiJulius was born on July 5, 1992, in Aurora, Ohio, USA.

An early starter, Johnni climbed through wrestling's youth leagues as a child, arriving at Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit High School with a decent amount of mat experience, earning his first individual state title in 2009, beating Drew Stone in the final.

Sadly, shortly after his triumphant performance at the 2009 Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) State Championships, DiJulius' mother, Stacy, passed away due to injuries sustained from falling out of a moving car. The incident received news coverage at the time as the driver of the vehicle commited suicide soon after the event.

After a solid career in high school wrestling, DiJulius headed to Ohio State, being part of a highly rated recruiting class that also included Hunter Stieber and Cam Tessari. Competing at 133 pounds, DiJulius helped the Buckeyes win their first National title as a team while also winning the prestigious Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational individually.

Once his collegiate career at Ohio State came to an end, DiJulius took a position as a volunteer assistant coach at Kent State. In his season with the Golden Flashes DiJulius helped team members Anthony Tutolo and Casey Sparkman qualify for the NCAA meet.

In 2019 Harvard Wrestling added Johnni DiJulius to its coaching staff.
