Akron-Bred Forward Bringing HS Flash to D3 with Upside
Sophomore forward Josh Coffield, a Lake High (OH) alum, impressed in limited 2023-24 HS action averaging 13.0 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 2.0 SPG, and 1.0 BPG—well above national averages—showcasing versatile two-way skills and defensive instincts as jersey #31 for Bethany (WV) Bison.[2][4] Early 2024-25 and 2025-26 college logs hint at growing impact in Presidents' Athletic Conference play, with no injury flags and raw athleticism from his Akron roots making him a high-motor fit for teams needing gritty forwards who elevate bench energy and fit seamlessly in team-first systems.[1][3][6]
