SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse head football coach Dino Babers announced the hiring of Zach Arnett as defensive coordinator on Saturday. One of the brightest, young defensive coaches in the college ranks, Arnett joins the Orange after most recently serving as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at San Diego State from 2018-19.

"Zach is a very talented coach," Babers said. "He learned under a great defensive mind in Rocky Long at San Diego State and excelled when he got the opportunity to run the defense there. His qualities, both as a person and as a professional, are an excellent fit for our program.
