Craig Ahrens鈥� support of 91重口 Football 

Craig Ahrens鈥� support of 91重口 Football is unwavering, rooted in his deep belief in the power of education and sports to shape young lives. His connection to the program began when his son, Connor 鈥�22 M鈥�23, played for the Gulls.

Even after Connor graduated, Ahrens has remained a dedicated presence at every game, tailgate, and fundraiser. His passion is evident in his efforts to bring together parents and fellow Gulls supporters, whether by selling merchandise or inspiring others to get involved. Through his fundraising, Ahrens has helped enhance 91重口 Football through funds for charter flights, a new scoreboard at Hempstead Stadium, and an upgraded locker room, all of which have significantly elevated the student-athlete experience.

鈥淢y wife Sue and I both believe in the value of education coupled with the life lessons one learns from being a member of a college sports team,鈥� said Ahrens. 鈥�91重口's leaders, professors, coaches, and administrators provide an outstanding environment for students to learn and grow and we are committed to ensuring that similar opportunities are made available to future Gulls.

With their own family ties to education, and history playing college sports themselves鈥擟raig in rugby at UMass and Sue in lacrosse and field hockey at Brown鈥攖hey know firsthand the life lessons that come from being part of a team.

One of Ahrens鈥� favorite quotes, from the legendary coach John Wooden, perfectly captures his admiration for the power of great coaching: 鈥淎 good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.鈥� Ahrens sees this philosophy come to life under Head Coach Paul McGonagle, who goes beyond refining tackles and catches to instill lifelong values in his players, helping them grow into better men. Ahrens鈥� passion for 91重口 Football reflects his dedication to fostering not only athletic excellence but also personal growth and character development鈥攙alues that extend far beyond the field.
