Derham Cato is familiar with both UW’s football program and its next offensive coordinator.
Perhaps that’s why Cato — who has served for the last four seasons as an offensive analyst at Washington — has been promoted to tight ends coach, head coach Jimmy Lake announced Saturday.
“Derham has worked his way up to this position,” Lake said in a statement. “He’s a very smart coach and he’s a grinder. He’s knowledgeable in the passing and run games, and he’s been an offensive coordinator and coached tight ends.”
Prior to arriving at Washington in February 2016, Cato served as Davidson’s offensive coordinator in 2015 and offensive line coach and tight ends coach in 2014.
