A standout infielder at Miami University from 1998-2001, Jeremy Ison begins his fourth season as a member of the RedHawk coaching staff. After spending 2005 as a volunteer assistant, Ison begins his third season coaching Miami's infielders and assisting with the offensive game plan.
Last season, Ison coached Second-Team All-MAC shortstop Jordan Petraitis and Second-Team All-MAC selection Tommy Nurre. Nurre led the team with a .386 batting average, while Petraitis hit .352.
Ison spent four seasons as Miami's starting shortstop, appearing in 241 games and belting 38 home runs, which rank him second on Miami's career list. He appears among the top three on five other career lists at Miami, ranking second in runs batted in (175), total bases (387), hits (237) and runs scored (162), while ranking third in doubles (47).
As a junior, he belted a career-high 15 home runs on his way to earning Second-Team All-MAC honors and helped the RedHawks advance to the NCAA Tournament with the program's first Mid-American Conference Tournament title since 1983.
Following his years in Oxford, Ison signed as a free agent with the Chicago White Sox and spent the next five years at various levels of professional baseball, including a stint as a player/coach with the Florence Freedom of the independent Frontier League.
