other opportunities this summer. McArdle
and Lyle Hemphill will serve as the team's
graduate assistants.
In

three-year starter on the offensive line.
He was a three-year All-Centennial
Conference selection, twice as an
offensive tackle and once as a center.
He
made 27 consecutive starts at one point in
his career and during his freshman year
played all five positions on the offensive
line. As a senior he served as co-captain
for head coach Peter Gallagher.
After
earning his degree in 2003 from Ursinus
with a degree in sociology and
anthropology, McArdle began his coaching
career at Delaware Valley College in 2003
for head coach G.A. Mangus and served as
assistant offensive line coach.
