University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wide receivers coach Will Healy is the Mocs’ new recruiting coordinator.
Coach Russ Huesman selected Healy as the replacement in that role for Geep Wade, who was in charge of recruiting the past two years before leaving earlier this month for a job at Marshall.
“I know it’s a lot of responsibility, but I’m looking forward to it and I wanted more responsibility,” Healy said. “I enjoy the recruiting side of it, and I also know that there’s a lot of stuff I have to learn.
“I definitely take it as a compliment and a promotion, and I understand the seriousness of what recruiting’s all about and how important it is to a program. Ultimately, winning and losing is about the athletes you can recruit and bring in to your program.”
Healy will coordinate UTC’s recruiting and focus on developing relationships with area coaches and players.
