Dan Lounsbury is entering his fourth season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at A&M-Commerce.

On offense in 2011, a number of Lions reached impressive season and career milestones. Wide receiver Taylor Fore finished fourth all-time in program history in career receptions (125) while tying the program’s single-season receptions mark with 58. Running back Marcus Graham also etched his name in the record books, finishing his career with 1,992 yards, good enough for eighth all-time.

Lounsbury works primarily with the A&M-Commerce quarterbacks and the duo of Yogi Gallegos and J.J. Harp reached some impressive numbers in 2011. Harp’s 61.5 percent completion percentage was the fourth-best in program history while Gallegos’ 54.7 was the seventh-best. In addition, Harp completed a single-game record 36 passes at Abilene Christian on October 29th.
