Former starting quarterback Ken Emmons is in his second year as a member of the Frostburg State coaching staff and he will help with the wide receivers this fall.
In 2016, he assisted with the linebackers and helped the Bobcats to one of the top defensive units in the country. Frostburg finished as the national leader in team tackles for loss (10.7). It also finished sixth in the country in scoring defense (12.9), seventh in team sacks (3.73), eighth in team passing efficiency defense (93.69) and ninth in total defense (240.6).
Prior to coaching, Emmons was a three-year starter for the Bobcats and was a four-year member of the team from 2011-2014. He finished his career with 4,045 passing yards and 24 touchdowns. On the ground he added nearly 1,000 rushing yards with another 13 touchdowns.
Emmons capped his playing career by being named the Mike McGlinchey Most Valuable Player of the 16th Annual Regents Cup game and two weeks later, the Empire 8 announced that Emmons was Frostburg’s Sportsman of the Year.
