Coach Lagerstrom was named the offensive coordinator for the Javelinas in the Spring of 2023 after joining the staff as the tight ends coach the previous year.
As the tight ends coach in the 2022 season, coach Lagerstrom helped coach the Javelinas to the program’s best season since 2016 going 7-4 in the regular season reaching as high as No. 15 in the AFCA Coaches’ Poll along with a postseason bowl bid at the Fun Town RV Heritage Bowl in Corsicana, Texas.
Lagerstrom’s tight ends played a crucial role in the Javelinas’ signature 31-24 win over then No. 12 West Texas A&M as tight ends Walker Ring and Allen Arclies both recorded touchdown receptions with Arclies’ fourth quarter score proving to be the game winner. The win was a historic one for TAMUK, marking the first win over a ranked team in over a decade.
On the year, both Arclies and Ring earned All-Lone Star Conference recognitions as honorable mentions, and as a pair, the duo combined for 42 receptions and 7 touchdowns on the year.
Before coming to Kingsville, Lagerstrom served as the Angelo State running backs coach from the Fall of 2020 to Spring of 2022.
In 2021, he coached three All-LSC running backs as ASU averaged 224.9 yards per game in 2021 going 11-3 that season making it to the NCAA Division II Quarterfinals.
Prior to his stint in San Angelo, Lagerstrom worked at Lake Erie College as the wide receivers coach beginning in 2019, coaching a wide receiver to break the school record for single season receiving yards and being named conference freshman of the year as the offense improved to the 25th passing offense in all of Division II.
While at Lake Erie College he earned his Master’s of Business Administration graduating with a 4.0 GPA in the December of 2020 after earning his bachelors of science in education from Bowling Green in Dec. 2018 where he also served as a student assistant on the Falcon’s football team beginning in 2016 through the completion of his degree.
