Egan Bender

Coach Egan Bender was hired in the summer of 2025 by Coach Kyle Rooker and North Park Football, focusing on the development of Viking linebackers.

The Vikings’ top tackler from 2024 was quickly promoted from Defensive Graduate Assistant in the spring to the Blue & Gold’s full-time Linebackers Coach. Bender led NPU with 80 tackles last season, the second-best mark in the CCIW, posting double-digit tackles across five different games to earn first team All-CCIW status.
