Coach Paul Rice, former captain of the Bulldogs, is back in the proper shade of blue following his stint at Columbia.

Bergeski most recently coached the wide receivers at URI and was previously the Offensive Coordinator at Southern Connecticut.
Kiran Amegadjie and Nick Gargiulo both attended the NFL Combine although only Gargiulo participated in testing and field drills. Scouts project that Amegadjie could be drafted as early as the 3rd or 4th round due to his coveted combination of size, arm length, athleticism, and power. Gargiulo will likely have a shot at making an NFL roster as an undrafted free agent but could wind up as a late round selection. Nolan Grooms and Mason Tipton will also likely have opportunities to test their skills against NFL competition in offseason camps. Tipton recorded an unofficial 40 yard dash time of 4.32 seconds according to JL Sports.
