ODU Bio: Michael Zyskowski Biography

Recruiting areas while @ ODU
Primary: Washington, D.C., Maryland, Delaware, South Jersey, All Specialists (K/P/S)
Auxiliary:Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma
JUCO/Prep: Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma

Also: >>... working primarily in the Northeast, Zyskowksi proved to be one of ODU’s most effective recruiters. He was especially successful in New Jersey, luring nearly half a dozen Garden State players away from nearby Temple University, including running back Ray Lawry, the 2014 Conference USA Freshman of the Year.

Zyskowski also recruited wide receiver Marques Little and safety Justice Davila, who both started this past season as sophomores, as well as the two highest-rated members of the recruiting class ODU signed last week – wide receiver Noah Ellison and linebacker Lawrence Garner.<<


Former ODU assistant coach Michael Zyskowski lands at UConn

>>Zyskowski will oversee UConn's recruiting efforts, although he won't be allowed to coach players directly and can't recruit off campus."It's almost like being a general manager," he said. Zyskowski met with the team Tuesday morning and said he is charged up to be back in college football. "Football is in my blood," he said. "To be in recruiting and in the hands-on operation again is something I'm really looking forward to. "I thrive on relationships. That's why I think I had success in sales. I love the camaraderie of being around young men."<<

From Auburn Camp site:

>>Johnny Brewer is a graduate assistant coach for Auburn football, working with the offensive line. He joined the Auburn family in 2013.

During the 2012 season, Brewer served as the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Harrison (Ark.) High School, after two seasons at Rogers (Ark.) High, his alma mater, as wide receiver and head freshman coach.

His first coaching assignment was as a volunteer assistant at Rogers, working with the quarterbacks and receivers. Brewer played football and baseball at Rogers, earning all-conference honors in both sports as a junior and senior; he was a teammate there of Auburn All-American Lee Ziemba. After his senior season, Brewer was selected to play in the Arkansas Football All-Star Game, where Gus Malzahn was his head coach.

A 2010 graduate of Arkansas with a degree in kinesiology, Brewer is pursuing a master’s degree at Auburn. Brewer, whose hometown is Rogers, Ark., is married to the former Danielle Stevens, who was an NAIA Scholar All-Star in volleyball at the College of the Ozarks, where she received her degree in business.<<

Tough to keep up with all the adds. I know that there are some incremental positions and the quality is an upgrade. Would love to see a side by side with the staff that Diaco had.

I say let's just keep moving on from that disaster.

UConn Football roster also released a few new names to the coaching staff:

Matt Robinson-Defenisive GA
Played LB for Edsall at Maryland and signed with the Jags
UDFA Matt Robinson: "I chose Jacksonville."

Chris White-Senior Quality Control/Director of Football Research & Special Project Originally from MA. Previously a RBs and a Speacial Teams Coach at University of Iowa, and coached Special Teams for the Minnesota Vikings.
"The Vikings special teams were instrumental in the team winning a second consecutive NFC North title and winning 12 games in the regular season, tied for the second-best total in team history."

"White also directs Iowa’s special teams. The Hawkeyes were second in the Big Ten and 11th in the nation in punt returns last season and fourth in the nation in kickoff returns. Individually, Desmond King was second in the league and seventh in the nation in punt return average."

More on White:
"White's departure [From Iowa] is a little more surprising, if only because there was actually was solid production from his area of responsibility -- as you probably recall, Iowa had two 1000-yard rushers this season (LeShun Daniels and Akrum Wadley), the first time Iowa had a 1000-yard rusher since Marcus Coker topped that mark in 2011 (a pre-White era). Talents like Jordan Canzeri and Wadley developed from 2* recruiting after-thoughts to explosive offensive weapons during White's tenure. He also coordinated special teams and Iowa's seen improved play there over the last few seasons, too. "
