Three new faces will join first-year head coach Vince Luvara on the sidelines at Hampden-Sydney this fall. On Friday, Luvara announced he had added Jadin Davis, Will Margraff and Richard Ramirez to his coaching staff. Davis is the football program’s new cornerbacks coach, Margraff is the new safeties coach and Ramirez takes over as the director of sports performance for football. 

“We are very excited to add Coach Davis, Coach Margraff and Coach Ramirez to our coaching staff,” said Luvara. “Coaches Davis and Margraff bring a new level of detail to our secondary and are two great up-and-coming secondary coaches. 

“The addition of Coach Ramirez has already been a game changer to our football program. Having someone on staff strictly dedicated to strength and conditioning has already paid immense dividends to our football team since he has arrived on campus.”
