Sibel is in his third season with Princeton in 2025 and second as tight ends coach.

John Volker set a new career mark with 447 yards rushing and seven touchdowns in 2023. He scored the game-winning touchdown on national television in the victory over Columbia and recorded 149 yards vs. Bryant.

Sibel comes to the Tigers from Lehigh where he spent time as the wide receivers coach. He also worked with the running backs during his first tenure with the Mountain Hawks in 2017-18.

Sibel was the running backs coach for Lehigh's Patriot League championship season from 2017. That year, he worked with a stable of backs that was led by consensus All-American Dominick Bragalone, who led the FCS in total rushing yards and scoring and became the first Lehigh player to record three 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Bragalone gained 1,388 yards as a junior and rushed for 18 touchdowns. Behind Bragalone, Micco Brisker and Nana Amankwah-Ayeh combined to rush for eight touchdowns and nearly 500 yards.
