Since the end of the season, they have revamped their entire coaching staff, starting with the hiring of coach Mike Murray. Levonne Havard said he “chose Elmhurst because it’s close to home and they wanted me to play football up there. They also have my major which is mechanical engineering.” When asked what excites him most about Elmhurst, he said, “I’m excited to be there to see all the opportunities that Elmhurst will give me.”
