January 14, 2019
Anderson University has announced the hiring of Jeremy Lochner as the next defensive coordinator for the Ravens football program.
Lochner comes to Anderson after spending six years on the football staff at Taylor University.
A graduate of Taylor with a Bachelor's Degree In Finance, Lochner coached defensive backs and linebackers and assisted with special teams. He tutored two NAIA All-Americans, two Cliff Harris Award finalists and numerous all-league players, including one conference Defensive Player of the Year.
"My coaching philosophy is to teach players respect, integrity, discipline, warrior spirit and, above all else, passion," Lochner said. "Football is the greatest team sport and learning to put others in front of oneself is a great way to instill servant leadership."
Lochner joins the staff of head coach Steve Rock, who will be in his second season at AU in 2019.
"I am very excited to have Coach Lochner join the staff. After reviewing a significant number of potential candidates Jeremy separated himself from the rest in several areas of need for our program. He brings a defensive system I am comfortable with, and his faith background makes him a great mentor to the young men on our team ," said Rock.
