"I am beyond excited and truly honored to have this opportunity,” said Lafler. “Being able to return home to my roots and give back to a community that helped raise me is truly special. I am looking forward to building something special with our student athletes and alumni on and off the field!"
A graduate of Penn Yan Academy, Lafler went on to star at Division II Limestone College in South Carolina.
