Allegheny College head football coach Braden Layer announced the hiring of Aaron Alvarez in April of 2024.
After a season as a graduate assistant and safeties coach at Division II Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio, Alvarez will oversee Allegheny's defensive backs.
In his one year with the Cavaliers, the defense increased its interception total by 33% and recorded 18 total takeaways while allowing nearly six less points per game. He also assisted with game-planning, organizing scout teams on offense and special teams, and worked with the recruiting coordinator to cover parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
A 2023 graduate of Marietta College, Alvarez was a four-year member of the football team but was limited due to injury.
