Episode 18 is here, and the guys are discussing fall ball and recruiting. As everyone knows we’ve been dealing with what seems to be the most unique time we will hopefully ever see. With COVID-19 affecting every part of our lives, it’s also had an affect on the college lacrosse fall season and continues to affect the recruiting landscape.
After a brief discussion between Nick and Ryan, they speak with Jordan Williams the newly appointed head coach at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. Coach Williams speaks about having his first ever season at a brand new NCAA D3 program during a pandemic. He shed lights on the uniqueness of recruiting, transitioning a club program to D3, and gives a fantastic plug for why any student-athlete should consider attending Penn College.
Going Offsides with Jordan Williams
Coach Williams has a rich history in lacrosse. Aside from a summer rooming with Nick coaching summer travel ball, he was an outstanding player at Aurora University. His coaching career started as a graduate assistant at Lourdes University, followed by a one year stop at Chatham before moving to Delaware, OH, and helping D3 power Ohio Wesleyan. This will be Jordan’s first chance to run his own program and I for one know he is up for the challenge.
