New Albany (OH) football hires Mark Solis as head coach

Mark Solis announced his resignation as Olentangy's coach Dec. 9. He went 68-36 over nine seasons, winning three league titles and reaching the Division II state semifinal in 2014.

A old name that has seen plenty of success when it comes to Ohio high school football resurfaced on Monday and will be coaching at New Albany.

According to a report by 270Gridiron, the Eagles have hired former Olentangy head coach Mark Solis to become the program’s next lead man. During Solis time coaching at Olentangy, the head compiled an overall record of 169-83 along with 15 playoff appearances.

“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Solis to New Albany,” New Albany athletic director Richie Wildenhaus said in the report. “He is a proven leader who understands how to build and sustain excellence.”

Solis takes on a much different challenge taking over New Albany, which finished below the .500 mark last season. The Eagles will have some talent returning on both sides of the ball, including 2027 running back Jett Jerwers, who is committed to Harvard and rushed for 1,503 yards and scored 14 touchdowns.

In the final Ohio 2025 High School Football Massey Rankings, New Albany finished with a 4-6 record and as the No. 101st ranked team in the state.
