Kent State Fires Coach Running Workout The Day A Recent Kenton Grad Died

8/17/17 – 5:14 A.M.

Kent State has fired the coach who was running a football practice the day a Kenton High School graduate died. The Columbus Dispatch reports the school cut ties with strength and conditioning coach Ross Bowsher. The university says Bowsher provided false information about having required certifications for his position.

Bowsher was running a workout when offensive lineman Tyler Heintz died. Heintz had recently graduated from Kenton High School. He was a member of the Golden Flashes’ 2017 recruiting class.
