Holy Cross Athletics

Sam Cohen enters his third season as a quality control assistant for the Holy Cross football team in 2024.

In 2022, Holy Cross went 11-0 during the regular season for the third time in program history and first time since 1991. The 2022 Crusaders (12-1) recorded the most single-season wins in program history and advanced to the NCAA FCS quarterfinals for the first time since 1983; their lone loss on the campaign was a hard-fought playoff contest to top-seeded South Dakota State, the eventual national champions. Holy Cross finished the year with a No. 6 ranking among all FCS teams as a result of numerous marquee wins, including a Hail Mary victory against FBS foe Buffalo and an overtime win over nationally ranked Fordham; the Crusaders also earned their first win at Harvard since 2000 and defeated Harvard and Yale in the same season for the first time in program history. 

Cohen comes to Worcester from Chestnut Hill after two separate stints at Boston College as the volunteer quality control (WR)/interim video production analyst for two years and four years as a student video analyst and a student recruiting assistant. 

In between his time at BC, Cohen worked at MIT as the running backs coach/video coordinator where the Engineers captured back-to-back New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships in 2018 and 2019. While on the banks of the Charles, Cohen had a running back finish second team All-Conference in each season.

Cohen graduated from Boston College in 2018 with a bachelor of arts in economics and a minor in English.
