“I’m very excited to be the joining the College of Idaho family,” said Erickson. “The combination of top- notch academics, plus a long storied history of success in athletics, made this a very attractive job for me and my family. I can’t wait to get started and connecting with the fans, students, faculty and staff which make this place special.”
