FAU linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair up to challenge of playing for new defensive coordinator

Florida Atlantic linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has grown accustomed to it by now.

For a third straight year, he will have to adjust to a new defensive coordinator. Al-Shaair has no problem with it because it’s still football.

No compatible source was found for this media.

Just with a new scheme and terminology.

“It actually kind of helps me be more versatile and understand different terminology and things like that,” Al-Shaair said.

In March, the Owls hired Tony Pecoraro from Southern Miss. He replaced Chris Kiffin, who joined the San Francisco 49ers after helping FAU produce one of the top defenses in Conference USA.
