    Coach, Men's Soccer

Jon Akin first joined Oglethorpe as men's soccer head coach in 2003, and has been smashing records and program highlights ever since.

Coach Akin has secured four conference titles, eight conference coach of the year nods, three NCAA appearances, and has coached numerous SAA players of the year, NSCAA, and All-American award winners. He brought the men's soccer program their first conference title, their first NCAA appearance, and their first NCAA tournament win. 

Akin became the program's winningest coach in 2009, then secured his 200th win as the Petrels advanced in this year's SAA tournament.

Under Akin, the program has developed a unique and admirable style of play for Oglethorpe, with plenty of success to show for it.
