Looks like Doug DeBoer, Nick Lezynski and Joshua Zidenberg have been hired as#UConn fb grad assistants Post original url/1bxX9BR

>>Grad assistants added?

While there has not been an official release, the staff directory on the UConn site lists Doug DeBoer, Nick Lezynski and Joshua Zidenberg as graduate assistants.

DeBoer was a graduate assistant at Central Michigan, Lezynski was a walk-on at Notre Dame who spent two seasons as the assistant secondary coach at Holy Cross while Zidenberg is a former Virginia running back who served as a grad assistant at his alma mater while also interning with Miami Dolphins.

UConn had four graduate assistants on last year's team but all have moved on including Shelton's Doug Shearer, who is an offense and special teams grad assistant at North Carolina State.<<
