Tommy Rowlands (born June 3, 1981 in Columbus, Ohio) was a two-time NCAA champion in wrestling and is currently an Ohio State University assistant wrestling coach.

His wrestling career began when his father introduced him to Louisiana State University All-American Wrestler Jim Edwards at a church function. Jim agreed to help Tommy learn the sport and the very next day Edwards would answer his door after work to find Tommy there ready to learn.

Rowlands chose to attend The Ohio State University where he became a two time national champion and the first four time All American for the Buckeyes. In the OSU singlet Tommy became a leader for the team and under coach Russ Helickson he was able to help lead the team to the National Duals finals and to a third place finish at the NCAA tournament.

A two time U.S Senior National Champion in Freestyle, Rowlands defeated Cole Konrad for his first title in 2007 and Steve Mocco in 2008 for his second; however, just a few months after the 2008 U.S. Nationals, Rowlands failed to qualify for the Olympics despite receiving a bye to the finals of the Olympic Trials, losing the best-of-three match series to Mocco.
