Alyssa Scherlin was named an Assistant Athletic Trainer on August 11, 2025.
Scherlin is not a true newcomer to the College, having interned with the football team in the 2023 season.

She even has international experience, having worked at the Sports Travel Academy in Dublin, Ireland in August of 2022, gaining insights into perspectives of athletic training outside the American system.
Scherlin is CPR and AED certified and has World Rugby Certifications in four areas: Immediate Care in Rugby, Medical Protocols for Match Day Staff, Concussion Management for Doctors and Healthcare Professionals, and Concussion Management for Match Day Medical Staff using the HIA Protocol.
