His time at Stout was with Rod Carey.

Isn't this the guy who WAS recruiting Cotton to IU until he left for FAU?

So I'm assuming he will be the Huskies new D line coach and recruiting coordinator like Neilsen was?

Is see that his recruiting area is Tampa/St Pete. There is a lot of good players in this area. Jason Candle recruits this area for UT.

My favorite quote from the article...."Under his watch the defensive line finished last in the conference in sacks".....awesome!
