Head coach Jim McElderry on Wyse: "Gavin has been vital to our success both on and off the field at Fordham. He started off as a volunteer coach and has now worked his way to being the Associate Head Coach. He has earned this promotion with his knowledge of the game, organizational skills, communication skills, recruiting and simply being a priceless part of my staff.
