Amy Williams+FollowNorth Park’s rapid rise: Bender takes the reinsNorth Park University just made a bold move that’s turning heads in Chicago sports circles. Egan Bender, who was leading the Vikings in tackles just over a year ago, is now stepping up as co-defensive coordinator at only 23. That’s a huge leap—especially in the ultra-competitive CCIW, where even a .500 season is a big deal. Bender’s energy and recent on-field experience could bring a fresh spark to the Vikings’ defense. What do you think—can a young coach like Bender help North Park break through against the league’s powerhouses? #Sports #Football #ChicagoSports00Share
