Xaverian Brothers Hawks Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Xaverian Brothers Hawks, a Division I program based in Westwood, Massachusetts, have elevated assistant coach Ryan O'Connor to the role of defensive coordinator. O'Connor, who spent five seasons developing talent on the Hawks' staff, will oversee the team's defensive unit as they prepare for the upcoming season. The Hawks, who finished with a 7-4 record in 2025, will look to build on their recent success with O'Connor's guidance. The promotion is expected to have a significant impact on the team's recruiting efforts, as O'Connor's reputation as a developer of talent will attract top prospects to the program. Xaverian will face stiff competition in the Catholic Conference, but O'Connor's expertise will be a key factor in the team's quest for a league title.
