#88 Kiley Coyne

Kiley Coyne is a Sioux Falls, South Dakota native working as the Assistant Director of Admissions and Recruitment for the School of Music at Augustana University.  She lives with her husband (Sean), their two sons (Oliver and Leo), and a troop of their beloved pets (a rabbit, two poodles, and two labradoodles). While somewhat new to the competitive sports scene, she has been participating in and coaching competitive marching band and color guard for 19 years so she certainly isn’t new to hard work.  She also comes from a background of CrossFit.  Her years of marching band/color guard have exposed her to countless hours of football and she has always loved the game.  Kiley joined the team in early fall 2022 to be part of an environment of empowering females, because she instinctively knew the Snow Leopards valued belonging and working together toward a common goal, and to challenge herself as an individual and an athlete. Kiley believes “it” is in the journey of training and perfecting plays with teammates week in and week out, that’s where the grit and grind and glory resides – and that’s what she loves being part of.  

Although an off-season knee injury before the beginning of the 2023 season had her on the sidelines physically in her rookie season, Kiley remained committed with ALL IN attitude and support, learning football strategy and skills from the sidelines, encouraging teammates, and rehabbing her way back to full strength. She will be starting for the Snow Leopards at Defensive End and will likely see time on the offensive line as well. She’s the “Queen” of positivity and we believe she’ll be “Queen” of the field this season where she’ll finally get to show off her skills and heart for the game. Proud of you Kiley – thanks for sticking with us! We are thrilled to have you on the field with us this season! #TogetherWeRise #ALLIN
