Maryland football has finally filled its running backs coaching vacancy, reportedly hiring Terp alumnus and former Rutgers wide receivers coach Jafar Williams on Thursday. NJ Advance Media was first to report the news.
After leaving Maryland in 2003, Williams broke onto the coaching scene at Moravian in 2005 as the passing game coordinator and receivers coach. He has since spent time at Illinois State, Howard, Northwestern, Kent State, Purdue and Rutgers. In his time at Rutgers, Jawaun Harris led all Big Ten freshmen with 39 receptions for 481 yards, while Andre Patton led the group with five touchdowns on 13.
