SELINSGROVE, PA - Kaden Watts has been announced as Susquehanna University's new athletics equipment room manager. He arrives in Selinsgrove after serving as equipment manager at Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, Ohio, where he played football before earning his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in 2022 and 2024, respectively.

"Kaden brings a team-first mindset and attitude, strong organizational skills, and the student-centered approach we value at Susquehanna," related Director of Athletics Sharief Hashim. "His experience as a student-athlete and equipment professional will immediately enhance our support for River Hawk programs and elevate the day-to-day experience for our student-athletes and coaches. We're thrilled to welcome him to Selinsgrove."
