Drake Athletic Communications welcomed its newest staff member in September by hiring Jack Bluhm as Assistant Director of Athletic Communications. Bluhm worked as a sports information director at Lipscomb for three years and a media relations coordinator for the Iowa Cubs in Des Moines for two years before coming to Drake.
The sports information department at Drake, where Bluhm works, has two full-time employees. Dave Shindelar, who is now the Director of Athletic Communications, is the other employee. He held Bluhm’s current position as Assistant Director of Athletic Communications last school year before being promoted this summer. The position opened after the previous Director of Athletic Communications, Danny Frey, accepted a different job in the spring of 2024.
