Matt Langel, an assistant on the men’s basketball team, will be named head coach at Colgate University, according to a report by OwlScoop.com

Langel, who came over from the University of Pennsylvania with Temple coach Fran Dunphy before the 2006-2007 season, spent five years on North Broad Street. During his time at Temple, Langel focused primarily on the guards and was instrumental in the recruitment of a number of players, including junior guard Juan Fernandez.

At 32 years old, Langel will be the second-youngest Division-1 coach in the nation behind IPFW’s Dane Fife.
