Jeremy Springer is fired up!
That’s the first thing you notice about the Arizona Wildcats’ new special-teams coordinator, whom we got to meet Wednesday night. He’s young (29), energetic and extremely gung-ho about special teams.
Springer played linebacker at UTEP from 2007-11. The special-teams coach there was Jeff Banks, who later brought Springer to Texas A&M to serve as his apprentice.
Springer made a big enough impression as a quality-control coach for Kevin Sumlin to hire him as one of his 10 full-time assistants at the UA. It’s Springer’s first full-time on-field coaching job, and he’s attacking it with relentless enthusiasm.
