A storied name within Gopher wrestling, Brandon Eggum has been a part of the University of Minnesota since 1997. A four-year letterwinner for the Gophers, Eggum was a three-time All-American from 1998-2000 in two different weight classes. The two-time Big Ten champion at 184 pounds, Eggum was also the 1999 NCAA Runner-Up and finished third in 2000. A member of the 1999 Big Ten championship team, Eggum was a part of four, top-three teams at NCAAs. Still to this day, Eggum's name holds a presence in the program's record books, where his 115 career wins, .833 career winning percentage, and 61 career dual victories all rank among the Top-25 in Gopher history.

Eggum was also a silver medalist at 2001 World Freestyle Championships and at 2002 Pan American Freestyle Championships. He also won bronze at 2003 U.S. National Freestyle Championships. Eggum has been a part of the Gopher wrestling coaching staff for the last 22 years and was named head coach of the program in 2016. During his time on staff, the Gophers have won three team national titles, eight team trophies at the NCAA Championships and captured five Big Ten team titles.
