DES MOINES, Iowa – Drake men's soccer is adding to its coaching staff with the return of a familiar face. Former Bulldog star player Leroy Enzugusi will join the Drake coaching ranks ahead of the 2025 season.
"My time with Leroy started when I was an assistant coach at Loyola Chicago and terrified of him every time he touched the ball," Drake head coach
Pat Flinn said. "Since moving to Drake, I have been fortunate to get to know Leroy well on and off the field. I admire his passion for the game and growing appetite for mentoring younger players. I am thrilled to have Leroy join our coaching staff; he is a great fit for our culture."
Enzugusi played in 62 career games as a Bulldog with 58 starts to his credit. He scored 23 goals and dished out seven assists for 53 total points over five seasons. Nine of Enzugusi's goals came in game-winning fashion and he tallied a .474 shot-on-goal percentage.
Since finishing his heralded career with the Bulldogs in Fall of 2022, Leroy has continued influencing the Iowa soccer community. He has been a constant on the field for the Des Moines Menace and recently won the 7v7 TST Soccer Tournament as a member of Bumpy Pitch FC.
Leroy has coached for VSA and is a founding member of Tekkers Soccer located in Waukee. Off the field, Leroy completed his master's in leadership at Drake and is engaged to marry former Drake Women's Soccer player Hannah Borman this fall.
