Coach Spenn on Chris
I have felt like Jason Groll is beyond my ability to make better so to have an on campus running backs coach with college coaching experience is a God send. Chris has tremendous knowledge on both sides of the ball and will be helping our defense as well. Chris has a great heart for mentoring players and is a perfect fit with our philosophy and onto our coaching staff. In the short time he has been with us he has had a great positive impact both on and off the field.
