Navy had five defensive assistants depart the program in December. Head coach Ken Niumatalolo only hired four replacements in January.
That was because new defensive coordinator Brian Newberry will coach a position, which predecessor Dale Pehrson did not. Newberry has coached safeties at every stop along the way and wants to continue overseeing that position in Annapolis.
With one remaining staff opening to fill, Niumatalolo elected to add an offensive assistant.
Navy announced on Thursday afternoon that Billy Ray Stutzmann has been hired away from Hawaii. He spent last season working with the Hawaii wide receivers and one of his pupils was John Ursua, who led the nation in receiving touchdowns (16) and ranked fifth in receiving yards (1,343).
