Russ Heffley is a veteran softball coach that has been with Coach Ford since 2020 and served as the in-game first base coach and oversees the catchers. With his new position, he will take on a new task, including recruiting for the Aggies.
Head baseball coach Trisha Ford announced Heffley would be joining the team in a full-time capacity:
“Russ is more than deserving of the promotion,” Ford said. “Coach Heffley has been an important piece to my staff the past three seasons and is an integral part of Aggie softball. He has a great understanding of how to connect to young players, develop and elevate their game. More importantly, he has a lot of passion for the game and brings a positive energy to the clubhouse each day that is contagious. I’m thankful to Ross Bjork, Jeff Toole, and our administration for their continued support and commitment to the Aggie softball program.”
Yessir, DJ Heff! Well deserved đź‘Ź
