MUNCIE, Ind. — It started with an email.
Kevin Lynch and his inbox are no stranger to them. In addition to being Ball State football’s running backs coach, Lynch is the team's recruiting coordinator, and athletes interested in playing football for the Cardinals often reach out to him to express that desire.
How he responds to them, of course, varies. There is a chance Ball State is looking for a player at that athlete’s position. There is a chance it isn’t. There is a chance adding a player at that position is a higher priority than signing someone at another.
