Johns Hopkins had a great year on the gridiron, making it all the way to the national semifinals for the first time in school history.
That was thanks in large part to D3football.com National Coach of the Year Jim Margraff, who had been with the program for nearly 30 years.
Sadly, though, Margraff reportedly died in his sleep on Tuesday night at the young age of 58 (via D3football.com):
Jim Margraff, the 2018 D3football.com national Coach of the Year, died in his sleep overnight, according to sources.
Margraff, 58, led Johns Hopkins in all-time wins as a football coach. His Blue Jays finished No. 5 in the D3football.com Top 25 after a run to the NCAA Division III national semifinals, the first in program history.
Margraff ranked third in wins among active Division III head coaches, and the Blue Jays were a team on the rise.
Condolences to Margraff’s family following Wednesday’s sad news.
