Wyse has helped coach the Rams to two Atlantic 10 Championships, winning the 2014 and 2016 league titles and three NCAA Championship appearances.

Most recently, Wyse was a part of a run to the NCAA quarterfinals and a #11 national ranking in the United Soccer Coaches poll.  Fordham finished the year with a school record 14 wins, posted two wins over nationally-ranked opponents, recorded its first two NCAA tournament wins over St. Francis Brooklyn and #11 seed Virginia, and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals following an exciting penalty kick shootout win at #6 seed Duke, before falling to #3 seed North Carolina.   On top of the team accomplishments, the Rams had eight individuals honored with postseason accolades from various organizations, including eight from the Atlantic 10, five All-Region picks from United Soccer Coaches, and two by the ECAC.

The 2016 Atlantic 10 Championship capped an outstanding season for Fordham soccer, which saw six Rams receive Atlantic 10 awards, three receive NSCAA All-Region accolades, and five were selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Championship team.

In 2014, the Rams had five players named to the All-Championship, while three players earned regular season All-Atlantic 10 honors.image

Wyse has had a very good track record on the recruiting trail, bringing in foreign born talent to Rose Hill.  Over the last five years, seven international Rams, Andrew Hickey (2013), Jannik Loebe (2014), Rashid Nuhu (2015), Janos Loebe (2015), Joergen Oland (2016), Jacob Bohm (2017), and Andron Kagramanyan (2017) have earned Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team honors, with Janos Loebe being named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year.

Wyse brings a wealth of coaching experience from the Storm Soccer Academy, where he has served as a coach and camp director since 2004. He has been an assistant coach with the U15 boys Super Y League team and the U17 boys team, which won the Super Y League National Championship. He has also been involved with coaching the spring and summer camps, certain travel teams, which include U9 girls and U11 boys, and the intramural programs from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade.

At the club level, Wyse has been associated with Little Neck FC, coaching boys' teams from U16-U18 and recently moved to another team, Downtown United Soccer Club (DUSC), coaching the U18 boys team. 

Wyse holds professional licenses, including a National B License (2010), the NCAA Advanced National Course (2009) and the NCAA National Course (2007).

As a player, Wyse was a two-year letterwinner at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, graduating with a Bachelor's of Science degree in 2002.  He and his wife, Sinead, have a son, Darragh.
