Jonathan “D.J.” Hernandez, brother of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, has been named the new head football coach at Ledyard High School in Connecticut, the school announced on Friday, according to The Day.
“I really enjoy the teaching aspect of football," Hernandez told The Day. "And it's not just about the games ... It's more about the process, the behind the scenes things and the one-on-one interactions. I really missed that”
He is expected to start on January 30. He has collegiate coaching experience at Brown, Miami and Iowa, where he coached tight ends from 2013-14.
