Arturo Gyles joined the Georgetown football coaching staff in July 2018. He works with the squad’s defensive line.
In his first two seasons, the Hoyas have led the Patriot League with 60 total sacks, including a league-high 34 sacks in 2018. Georgetown’s rushing defense has been in the top two of the PL each year, and ranked eighth nationally in 2018 (103.2 ypg). Gyles coached five All-Patriot League honorees in 2018 and 2019 with two first team nods.
Gyles came to the Hilltop after spending the past two seasons at Moravian College where he worked with both the team’s outside linebackers and defensive line. In 2017, while working with the outside linebackers, Gyles helped lead the defense to rank fifth in the Centennial Conference, allowing 162.5 rushing yards per game. Gyles coached Steve Ewald, who ranked third in the Centennial Conference with 87 total tackles and 8.7 tackles per game.
He led the defensive line in his first season in 2016, coaching the Greyhounds to a top-three ranking in the conference with 127.8 rushing yards allowed per game.
A native of Adamstown, Maryland, Gyle is no stranger to the Patriot League as he attended Lehigh University where he was a defensive lineman from 2011-14. He played in 31 games over four years, including all 11 games in both his junior and senior seasons. He totaled 44 total tackles, 3.5 tackles-for-loss and 2.0 sacks in his career. As a senior in 2014, Gyles registered 20 tackles and 1.0 sack in 11 starts at nose guard, earning Lehigh’s best defensive lineman award.
Gyles graduated from Lehigh in 2015 with a degree in global studies.
