Matt Fanning brings Holy Cross credibility, but he is a former Crusader wideout turned coach, not a current player.
Matt Fanning is best known as a Holy Cross wide receiver who later became the program’s wide receivers coach, giving him real player-to-coach credibility and an inside-out understanding of the Crusaders’ offensive standards. As a senior in 2006, he recorded 36 catches for 481 yards and 4 touchdowns, and he also earned Holy Cross’s Daniel Allen Sportsmanship Award, which points to strong character and leadership. If you want a fit grounded in system familiarity, accountability, and teaching ability, he profiles as more of a developmental/off-field asset than a current roster evaluation.
