His knowledge of the game is valuable, and we are thrilled to have him be a part of the Spartan family.”
“I feel so fortunate to have such an opportunity to become a part of the Spartan family, as well as working under coach Patterson and alongside the rest of the staff,” said Singer. “From our very first interaction, I felt that I wanted to be a part of coach Patterson’s vision for this program. This department as a whole is teeming with wonderful people operating with great intent towards the same goal. It’s an exciting time to be a Spartan!”
