Maryland announced four additions to coach DJ Durkin’s staff Wednesday afternoon in defensive coordinator Scott Shafer, defensive line and associate head coach Mike London, defensive backs coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim, and strength and conditioning coach Rick Court.
It’s the first wave to join Durkin’s staff, and it’s concentrated on the defensive side of the ball, considered a specialty for Durkin, a former defensive coordinator at Michigan and Florida.
“I’m thrilled to announce four high-quality additions to the coaching staff,” Durkin said in a statement. “We’re adding a pair of coaches with head coaching experience and a group of guys with track records of being great teachers and recruiters.
