Craig Stutzmann: GA

Dave Reardon writes that former UH receiver Craig Stutzmann has joined the Warriors staff as a graduate assistant.

Stutzmann said he starts with UH this week, and that he accepted and offer from new head coach Greg McMackin to work with the UH receivers.

"The opportunity is awesome," Stutzmann said

Stutzmann is a teacher and football coach at Saint Louis School, his high school alma mater. He said he will be allowed to continue teaching at Saint Louis through the summer.

"They've been very supportive," he said.

Congratulations to Stutzmann!

And maybe he can coach the punters too:



UPDATE: More from UH Sports Extra:

“I’ll start this week,” Stutzmann said. “I’m working on signing up for classes, and I’m excited about spring ball. I won’t be able to recruit off the islands, but I can go with the coaches locally. I’m looking forward to learning a lot and making a contribution.”

Stephen Tsai has some news and notes from his post today. Some excerpts:

Defensive end John Fonoti has been placed on scholarship.

Defensive tackle Fale Laeli said he will undergo arthroscopic surgery to "clean up" his left knee. He is expected to be ready for spring practice.

Also, Greg McMackin leaves tonight on a recruiting mission to California. McMackin has promised to do as many home visits as possible.
