Mark Ewald is in his ninth year with the Flyers after 16 years with Wittenberg University. In his time at Dayton, Ewald has coached the top two rushers in UD history. He mentored the 2015 Pioneer Football League Offensive Player of the Year, Connor Kacsor, and then led another of his running backs, Tucker Yinger, break Kacsor's records and become Dayton's all-time leading rusher.
Ewald coached Wittenberg’s record-setting receiving corps from 1996-2005, before taking over the running backs coaching duties in 2006. Almost every Wittenberg receiving record was broken under Ewald, as the passing game flourished and was regularly ranked among the best in the NCAC and all of NCAA Division III. During his tenure, the running game saw great success as well.
Coach Ewald was also instrumental in leading the Wittenberg Special Teams, specifically the kickoff return and coverage teams. Under his guidance, the Tigers were ranked in the Top 50 nationally multiple times.
Ewald graduated from Capital University in 1988, where he received a Bachelor’s of Science in Marketing with a minor in Education.
He and his wife, Diane, reside in Kettering, OH and have three children- Nicholas, Jacklyn, and Luke David. Luke will play football at Ohio University beginning in the fall of 2019.
