The Washington Redskins on Thursday hired James Rowe as assistant defensive backs coach, the team announced.
Rowe was most recently the defensive coordinator for Valdosta State, a position he held for one season prior to joining the Redskins. During his season with the Blazers, the defensive unit finished with a Division II-best 27 interceptions and ranked fifth in opposing passing efficiency, limiting opposing quarterbacks to a 96.2 passer rating.
Valdosta State safety Kenny Moore also earned first-team All-American honors from the American Football Coaches Association.
He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant cornerbacks coach for Jacksonville University.
