After much fanfare at the University of Missouri over the hiring of Colin Zeng as the program’s new head diving coach, the school has quietly scrubbed him from its athletics website.
A spokesperson for the program said that they “had a mutual separation with Coach Zeng, and the Mizzou Swimming and Diving program wishes him the best going forward.”
Zeng, a native of Fujian, China, has not replied to a request for comment.
As an athlete at Ohio State and then the University of Tennessee, Zeng was a three-time NCAA Champion and 10-time All-American from 2015-2019. In 2018 and 2019, he was named the CSCAA Diver of the Year nationally.
According to his LInkedIn page, his coaching career began with the Ohio State Diving Club* while still in college, follow by 2 years working with Tennessee Aquatics Diving.
After graduation, he worked at the University of Iowa as a graduate assistant diving coach before taking his first full-time collegiate job at NCAA Division II Colorado Mesa University.
He was there for one season before returning to his alma mater Tennessee as a graduate assistant before being promoted to assistant diving coach.
Zeng led the Brown program for one season from 2025-2026 before making the leap for his first major head coaching job at the University of Missouri.
He was due to replace Kyle Bogner, who retired after seven seasons leading the program. During that run, he coached eight All-American divers and had at least four divers qualify for the NCAA Championships each season.
Mohab Ishak is still listed as Missouri’s assistant diving coach. He was a two-time Olympian for Egypt and finished 11th at the 2020 Games on 3-meter. That was the best finish for an Egyptian diver at the Olympics since 1948.
Ishak was also a Youth Olympic Games silver medalist in 2014.
At the SMU Classic, where each team can enter 1 diver, Megan Jolly finished 2nd on women’s 1-meter and 3rd on 3-meter, while Tanner Braunton finished 3rd on the men’s 1-meter and 4th on 3-meter.
Missouri next competes at the hosted Mizzou Invite from November 17-20.
