Miss you kid. Not a day goes by that I don’t look at your picture on my desk. You will forever be missed.
On St Patrick’s Day, 2018, the Amherst Football Family learned we lost one of our brothers. St Patrick’s Day is a day of celebration, and today we celebrate the life of Andrew Dorogi, a young man who brought joy to everyone he met. Love you 22, we are forever in your debt. #AD22

Outstanding player and way better human! Proud to be one of his coaches.
For the @nflnetwork, Avery Saffold '20 shares his experience playing football as an openly gay Black man at Amherst and beyond. He fondly recounts the time @CoachEJMills hosted a Pride @AmherstCollFB game shortly after he came out.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King had countless powerful messages and quotes. My favorite is:. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” #MLKDay.

Bo is preparing to be a champion!.
Really good job running the hoops here, accelerates on the straight-aways, and stays low throughout the drill. Needs to work on the wide turns, clearly has no idea what a figure eight is, and conditioning is an issue. 6 months to camp, I’ll get him in shape @Coach_Bussard

Incredibly proud friend and coach of Chris. Chris was an outstanding player during his time here and a way better person! He certainly left Amherst a better place than he found it!.
