Buffalo State named Alison Farmer as the school's head cheerleading coach. Director of Athletics Jerry Boyes made the announcement.

A native of Hamburg, NY, Farmer brings a wealth of experience to the Bengals' program as she cheered for three seasons at Frontier High School and three more years at the University of Dayton for both football and basketball.

"We are excited to bring Ali on board at Buffalo State," said Boyes. "I am confident that her energy will help guide our cheerleading program in the right direction."

Farmer earned her bachelor's degree in business administration from Dayton and currently works as a corporate sales training analyst for BlueCross and BlueShield.
