IMPACT AT MARIST
Coombs cemented his role as a natural leader and Marist legend by leaving it all out on the field. His unwavering dedication motivated many to follow. Erin Coombs, the late star’s sister, explained how he matured at Marist.
“Marist was like family to him, and the small town vibe was a fit,” she said. “Marist offered him a push beyond where we grew up and know the new community he began to love.”
Marist head coach Keegan Wilkinson had a profound impact on Coombs in the early stages of his recruitment. Wilkinson’s personality made Coombs feel at home, and Marist became the clear choice following his graduation from Hatboro-Horsham. Coombs inspired the program’s gradual rise, Wilkinson said.
