From Coach Hudspeth:
“I’m excited to get someone with the experience of Eddy Morrissey on staff. He has been at a lot of great programs and coached a lot of great players. I think he’s going to bring a lot of creative ideas to our system, considering he’s been in with some really good offensive coaches, including Joe Moorhead. I’m really excited about his leadership at that position.”
