Princeton defensive and recruiting coordinator Dylan Sheridan is set to become the first head coach of the recently established Cleveland State men’s lacrosse team, which will begin its first season of DI play in 2017, multiple sources have told Inside Lacrosse.

A Northeast Ohio native and 2002 graduate of Western Reserve Academy in nearby Hudson, Ohio, Sheridan coached the Tigers’ defense in 2015 after joining the staff last September. Prior to Princeton, he spent four seasons with the Denver Pioneers, including serving as the defensive coordinator in 2014.

Rumblings about varsity men’s lacrosse at Cleveland State began last fall, and final confirmation came through in April.

CSU athletic director John Parry was part of the creation of men's lacrosse at Butler and bringing in coach Jon Hind, who's gone on to an influential career in coaching and athletic administration lacrosse-wise. Few careers, however, have impacted the modern lacrosse landscape more than Parry's; read more about that in the upcoming August issue of IL.

With Manhattan's hiring Drew Kelleher on Thursday and VMI's announcing the addition of Jon Birsner earlier this week, there are no remaining DI head coach openings; the Princeton assistant coach position that Sheridan vacates is likely the highest profile opening on what's been a relatively calm summer for the coaching carousel.
