OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Stevenson University Athletics is pleased to announce the hiring of Danyelle Cole as Assistant Athletic Trainer, as she joins the athletic training staff for the 2026-27 academic year.

Cole brings a diverse background in athletic training, rehabilitation, and patient care, along with experience working across the high school, collegiate, and professional levels.

Most recently, Cole has served as a Certified Athletic Trainer with MedStar Health, where she provides on-field and athletic training facility assessments, develops and administers rehabilitation plans, and coordinates patient care with medical professionals. She has worked with middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes while assisting in the evaluation and treatment of athletic injuries.

Cole is no stranger to Stevenson, having previously served as an Athletic Training Student with the Mustangs' women's soccer program during the Fall 2025 semester. During her clinical experience, she developed and implemented individualized rehabilitation plans for acute and chronic injuries, led medical timeouts alongside visiting athletic trainers, and collaborated with physical therapists and team physicians to provide comprehensive care to student-athletes.

"We are thrilled to have Danyelle as part of the Stevenson Athletic Training team. Danyelle established great relationships during her time as an Athletic Training Student at Stevenson University. Her strong clinical skill set and willingness to collaborate with peers make her an outstanding Athletic Trainer!" said Head Athletic Trainer Cody Lancellotti.

In addition to her collegiate experience, Cole expanded her professional athletic training background through a summer internship with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. During her time with the organization, she provided therapeutic treatments, including MicroCurrent and Hivamat modalities, administered therapeutic massage for athlete recovery, and assisted with daily field setup, emergency equipment, and hydration stations.

Cole earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Towson University in May 2024 and pursued her Master of Science in Athletic Training at Towson University in May 2026. She also holds Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) certification and is a Certified Athletic Trainer.

"I began my journey at Stevenson University last year as a graduate athletic training student and quickly found a place that felt like home. After spending some time away gaining valuable experiences, I am thrilled to return as a full-time athletic trainer. I look forward to working alongside the outstanding staff and student-athletes at Stevenson while continuing to grow and develop professionally. I am excited to contribute to the Stevenson community and provide the high-quality care and support that its student-athletes deserve. Go Mustangs!" said Cole.
