Heisman Trophy Winner Eric Crouch to Join Midland Football Staff

Midland University is adding another award winner to its list of internationally acclaimed coaches with the hiring of Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch.

Crouch was announced as the Warriors' new assistant football coach with a primary emphasis on running backs and special teams.

"We're absolutely thrilled to have Eric as part of our Midland family," President Jody Horner said. "Everything that it takes to be a Heisman Trophy winner are the same qualities that we hope to instill in our students as part of their experience here at Midland. The experience that he brings as a mentor, as a role model, and just as a caring human being, I think our students will really benefit from that."
