Overall Neiman has seen 28 former players sign professional contracts.
 
“From a recruiting standpoint, Nolan has worked nationally as well as regionally,” said Shehan. “Because of his familiarity of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and New York, I believe he will make an immediate impact when it comes to bringing in national championship caliber prospective student-athletes. I am absolutely thrilled to have him join our already strong coaching staff here at Millersville.”
