Ithaca College football head coach Michael Toerper announced the addition of Drew Miller ’21 to the staff as the offensive line coach for the upcoming 2023 season. Miller comes back to his alma mater after one season as a graduate assistant coach at St. Lawrence University, where he worked with the running banks and tight ends.
In his first year working with the offensive line, Ithaca ran for nearly 200 yards per game and four starters on the line were named All-Liberty League, including first team honors for Colin Norton and JoJo Puckey. The line also allowed just five sacks all season and were named to the D3football.com Team of the Week after IC's 24-10 win over Rochester on October 21. IC rushed for 317 yards and three touchdowns in that victory.
Miller will take over the reins of a unit that allowed just six sacks over 13 games in 2022 and led the way to IC averaging over 37 points and nearly 200 yards rushing per game.
While at St. Lawrence, the Saints went 4-6 this fall. SLU averaged over 116 yards rushing per game, while tight end Joseph Ott, an honorable mention all-Liberty League selection, caught 18 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns in eight games.
As a member of the Ithaca College football program, Miller was a two-time Liberty League All-Academic performer and played in six games.
He graduated from Ithaca in December 2021 with a degree in business administration.
