Drake University has made it a habit to hire its own, and several former Bulldog student-athletes have come full circle as coaches at their alma mater. Here are a few of their stories.
Matt Woodley first appeared on Drake's radar as a standout basketball player at nearby Valley High School. After a decorated career for the Bulldogs and a number of coaching stops, he is back where it all began.
Woodley graduated from Drake in 2000 with a degree in education. A two-time All-MVC honoree, Woodley finished his career as the Bulldogs' all-time leader in 3-pointers and steals.
