St. John’s hires Fordham athletic director Ed Kull to role

St. John’s University in New York has hired Ed Kull, a native New Yorker and former Fordham athletic director, to be its next athletic director. Kull, who grew up in Queens and played baseball at Stony Brook, expressed his excitement and commitment to restoring St. John’s athletic program to prominence. He has a background in athletic administration and has had success at Fordham, where he hired successful coaches and led teams to conference titles and NCAA berths. St. John’s has been without an AD since parting ways with Mike Cragg, and Kull is seen as a key hire for the university.
