Bio
2024 (Sophomore): Was one of just five Eagles to start every game that he played in, making 15 starts in C-N's 16 games. The centerback totaled 1251 minutes on the pitch, third-most on the team. Played the full 90 minutes in 12 of his 15 appearances. Only game he missed was because of the number of yellow cards (7) he recieved during the season. Recorded four shots, none of them found the target.
2023 (Freshman): As the season grew on, Coles saw his time on the pitch only increase, starting five of the final seven games of the season. In total, he played 10 games and had eight starts. He recorded his first career assist on Sept 20. versus Emory & Henry in a 3-0 win.
