"We are excited to welcome Kyle to the pack," Ludwig said. "He's a great example of high character and work ethic. Those are values we preach to the team. He was a fine competitor in the MAC and brings a wealth of experience as a successful student-athlete that will translate well to the squad."
Kyle Springer"I worked for a former NIU assistant at Lake Erie, so being here is kind of like coming full circle," Springer said. "I've known coach Ludwig for quite awhile with my own recruiting process. I'm just excited to be here and see what the season brings."
Springer comes NIU after spending the last two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Lake Erie College under former NIU assistant coach Jeff Breese. During his tenure with the Storm, Springer assisted in all areas of program management including designing and administering strength and conditioning programs, competition scheduling and donor relations.
