Raised in Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, Yurkow attended Gloucester Catholic High School.[5]
Yurkow played second base at Rowan University, and earned his first coaching position with the Profs immediately after graduation. He served two years before moving to Duke for four seasons. He then accepted a position at Penn as the top assistant to head coach John Cole, who had previously coached him at Rowan. Upon Cole's firing after the 2013 seasons, Yurkow was elevated to the head coaching position. [1][2][3][4]
