The Drake University football team has promoted Kirk Wherritt to offensive coordinator, head coach Todd Stepsis announced Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Wherritt is set for his third season in 2020 with Drake after coming from Trinity International, where he was the head coach for eight seasons. He has coached the Bulldogs' running backs the past two seasons, including recently graduated Drew Lauer, who had an outstanding final season in 2019.
"After an extensive search, it became crystal clear that the right man for the position was right under our nose," Stepsis said.
