PELLA – Central College football announced a coaching staff update this week, as former star receiver and 2021 graduate Tanner Schminke is joining the staff as defensive ends coach.
Schminke received first-team Division III All-American honors from the Associated Press and D3football.com last year for a season in which he amassed 1,536 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns, both of which were program records.
As part of the announcement, Central unveiled the rest of its coaching staff responsibilities, much of which will remain the same from last season. Of note was the announcement of the retirement of part-time assistant coach Jeff Bollard, who had been with the program for 35 years, most recently coaching running backs for the Dutch. The Dutch running backs coach for this season will be Logan Huinker.
