Burke Bulldogs Name New Coordinator
Omaha Burke Bulldogs head coach, Mark Cusick, has promoted assistant coach, Ryan Jenkins, to defensive coordinator. Jenkins spent five seasons developing the team's defensive line, helping the Bulldogs improve from 2-7 in 2021 to a 9-2 record in 2025. As a Class A program, Burke's success has drawn attention from top recruits in the region. Jenkins' promotion is expected to strengthen the Bulldogs' recruiting efforts, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. With the addition of Jenkins to the coaching staff, Burke is poised to remain a top contender in the NSAA Class A standings. The Bulldogs will open the 2026 season with a strong defensive unit, led by Jenkins' guidance. Cusick praised Jenkins' work ethic and ability to connect with players, citing these qualities as key factors in his promotion. The team will begin summer camp in late July, with a focus on perfecting their defensive scheme.
