Ryan O’Flaherty Takes the Helm of St. Peter’s Prep Football Program

The new head coach aims to build on a strong foundation as the Marauders eye a state title run

A Strategic Choice

The school announced that O’Flaherty, who has served as offensive coordinator and associate head coach at St. Peter’s Prep, will lead the varsity squad starting in 2026. His promotion reflects a continuity of philosophy and a commitment to the program’s tradition of excellence.

Returning Talent

The Marauders will bring back several key players from a season that ended at 8‑3 and a No. 6 state ranking. Among them are interior lineman Oluwasemilore Olubobola, running back Abdul Turay, safeties Ryan Wooten and Ty’ire Clark, all of whom earned three‑star ratings and are expected to anchor the offense and defense.

Leadership Praise

Rich Hansen, the school’s Director of Athletics, said O’Flaherty’s dedication and passion for developing young men make him the ideal fit to guide the team forward. Hansen noted that the coach’s experience positions him to maintain momentum and pursue a state title.

Looking Forward

With the new coaching leadership and a roster bolstered by proven returners, the program aims to translate its recent success into a championship‑caliber campaign. The upcoming season will test how quickly the team can adapt to fresh strategic directions while preserving the culture that has defined its recent achievements.
