Al Harants
Quarterbacks Coach

Al Harants joins the University of Saint Francis staff after coaching last season at Concordia and helping the Cadets advance to the school’s first football regional championship. He has a wealth of knowledge about the intricacies of the run-and-shoot offense and employed it throughout his time as a high school head coach.

Harants was 220-115 as a high school head coach. Harants retired from teaching and head coaching duties at North Central High School in Indianapolis in February of 2002 after 10 years running the Panthers’ football program.

But Harants is no stranger to northeastern Indiana football. He started out at South Adams, moved to Bellmont and then to Wayne, where he went 33-30 building a winning tradition at school where wins were rare. Wayne advanced to the 1992 Class 4A championship and won the championship in 1995.

He lives in Fort Wayne with his wife, Sandy.
