Assistant Football Coach Selected to Participate
in NCAA Champion Forum
Assistant Football Coach Mike Hoyt was one of 10 coaches nationally selected to be a part
of the NCAA’s Champion Forum held in June. The forum, aimed at mentoring future head
football coaches by pairing them with esteemed athletic directors from around the country,
ran in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors Athletics Convention
in Orlando, Fla.
The individuals selected for this forum were chosen by a distinguished group of retired and
current head coaches.
Hoyt is in his sixth season at Albright as a defensive coordinator. “I was honored and
humbled to be selected as part of such an elite group of coaches,” he said. “I was able to
gain more insight on managing a football program and how important it is to teach student
athletes the life-long lessons that will make them successful off the playing field.”
Hoyt is also the director of strength and fitness for all of Albright’s athletic teams.
Three alumni were recently appointed to the Albright College Board of Trustees. They will all serve three-year terms.
