He truly cares about the athletes in every aspect from academics to golf to their every day life. He is a great asset from his experience in the golf industry as well as from Buena Vista University, and I am so thankful for him and his willingness to hit the ground running. Welcome to the Blazer family, Cory!”

After visiting Birmingham, touring campus and meeting with athletic staff, I knew this would be a great environment to coach. My family and I look forward to becoming a part of the Blazer family and community.”
