Lourdes University Vice President of Athletics Janet Eaton-Smith has announced that Harrison Greer has been named the Gray Wolves' new esports coordinator.
 
Greer had been the program's graduate assistant and also served as a student coach and player for the Gray Wolves during his undergraduate playing days.
 
"It is an exciting time in athletics to name an alum, Harrison Greer, as the next esports coordinator, Eaton-Smith stated.  "Not only does it help support the alumni relations, but it also brings a fresh prospective as well as respect for the university as a whole.  It will help support the big picture in the athletics department.  Our goal is to recruit, retain and graduate quality student-athletes as we continue to build upon the Gray Wolf traditions."
 
Greer has competed in Overwatch, League of Legends, and Heroes of the Storm and was a member of the Gray Wolves' Great Lakes Esports Conference League of Legends championship team in the fall of 2020.
 
He has also served as a head and positional coach for Catalyst Esports since 2020 and is also currently the program's social media manager.
 
"When I was growing up, I never thought my passion for gaming and sports would get the chance to come together," Greer said.  "But now, five years after first coming to Lourdes University, I get the opportunity to combine the two aspects of my life as the esports coordinator.  I couldn't be more excited to continue in the esports world, and to do it at my alma mater makes it all the more special.   It has been a great experience and a privilege learning and working under Lemar Daniels, and I hope to continue his legacy of success here at Lourdes."
 
A 2020 graduate of Lourdes with a bachelor's degree in history, Greer is currently pursuing his master's degree in business administration at the school.
