Nick Saban: New Alabama WR coach 'an excellent recruiter'

Alabama officially welcomed a new wide receivers coach to its staff.

The appointment of Josh Gattis, a former Penn State assistant, was announced Thursday.

"Josh Gattis is an outstanding addition to our coaching staff," Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. "He is a sharp, young coach who did a great job at Penn State and Vanderbilt before that, and we believe he will bring great energy to our program. He is an excellent recruiter and knows what he is doing in terms of coaching wide receivers and building relationships with the players. We are happy to welcome his wife Tesa and their son Jace to the Crimson Tide program.
