Mid-American Conference (MAC) football is finally back and that only means one thing.
On Aug. 7, the Miami RedHawks football team unveiled its new uniforms for the 2021 season.
Miami wide receivers coach Israel Woolfork played college football from 2008 to 2012 at Division II Grand Valley State in Michigan, where Chuck Martin was the head coach before moving on to Notre Dame as an assistant. Before YouTube was around, he remembers mailing out DVDs and VHS tapes of his highlights when he was in high school. “Now, to see where it is, where a kid can literally inbox me with his link to his highlights, his transcripts, and everything being on the phone and accessible in a matter of 30 seconds? It’s wild.”
RedHawks men’s basketball head coach Jack Owens’ contract has been extended through the 2023-2024 season as announced by the program Thursday. A copy of Owens’ extension obtained by The Miami Student shows the contract was signed on May 4, 2021 and expires on May 31, 2024.
Last year was supposed to be a big season for Miami football.

Sam Bachman, former Miami star pitcher and the ninth overall selection in the 2021 MLB draft signed with the Los Angeles Angels for $3,847,500 Wednesday, according to reports from Baseball America’s Carlos Collazo.
Sam Bachman became the first Miami University RedHawk ever selected in the first round of the MLB first-year player draft when the Los Angeles Angels drafted him ninth overall Sunday night. Bachman will sign on or before August 15, or he’ll have to return to Miami and enter the draft again next year.
On Sunday night, pitcher Sam Bachman will likely be the first ever Miami RedHawk to be taken in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft. One of Bachman’s most exciting traits is his apparent MLB readiness. Draft insider Joe Doyle speculated that he could end up in an MLB bullpen later in 2021, saying “If there’s stuff that’ll play immediately out of a big league bullpen, it’s Bachman’s.” Major League teams always need bullpen help. Who better to provide it than a young player with strikeout stuff?
The managers, led for the most part by juniors Zorian Schiffman, Rory Tekulve and Kotila, is a group of student volunteers that help with nearly every aspect of the baseball team’s operation. Schiffman believes Miami has the largest program of student managers in the country. “[We work on] things from game planning and video scouting, to player development, to some of the more in depth research projects,” Schiffman said.
For the second straight year, the Miami RedHawks have a former player selected in the NFL Draft.

Sam Bachman’s name is hot in MLB draft circles. But for now he has different things on his mind. “I’m really not too focused on [the draft],” Bachman said. “The most important thing right now is getting Miami to a regional, to the College World Series, somewhere we’ve never been … When the season’s over we can talk about the draft.”
The Western Michigan Broncos visited Oxford this weekend for a series at Mckie Field.
