A 2009 graduate of Penn, Jason Miran joins the staff to coach the Diplomats tight ends. Miran spent four years on the Quakers’ roster as a fullback and tight end, earning a pair of varsity letters.  He appeared in 36 games, including the final 20 of his career in Philadelphia. He started all 10 games of his senior season at fullback averaging 4.3 yards per reception. He scored his first collegiate touchdown against Georgetown as a junior.

Miran’s desire to coach was developed while on the Quakers’ roster, “As much as I enjoyed playing the game, I also took pride in helping the younger players at my position,” said the Pottstown, Pa. native. “I appreciated the opportunity to hand down some of what I had learned over the years.”

His successes were not limited to the gridiron. The Communications major has worked at CNN and WXPN. He is also familiar with the administrative setting on the college campus having worked in Penn’s Athletic Development Office and Van Pelt Library.

Miran is a 2005 graduate of The Hill School, where he earned 11 varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball. He served as the football team’s captain his senior season.

“Jason is a talented young man with a bright coaching future ahead of him,” said Head Coach, John Troxell. “His experience as a student-athlete at Penn leaves him uniquely qualified to mentor our players in achieving a success both on the field and in the academic setting.”
