Rod Ojong has been hired as a defensive quality control assistant after spending 2019 as the cornerbacks coach for Furman.

Additionally, Kirby Smart has brought in Laiu Moeakiola as a defensive graduate assistant.

Before coaching cornerbacks at Furman in 2019, Ojong had the same role at Austin Peay in 2018, the year the Governors came to Athens for the season opener.

Prior to Austin Peay, Ojong was graduate assistant at North Carolina for two years (2016, 2017), where he overlapped with current UGA defensive line coach Tray Scott, who held the same position in Chapel Hill before coming to Athens.

Ojong’s coaching career is as follows:

2019 – Furman (Cornerbacks)
2018 – Austin Peay (Cornerbacks)
2016-17 – North Carolina (Defensive Graduate Assistant)
2015 – Memphis (Defensive Graduate Assistant)
2014 – West Georgia (Strong Safeties)
2013 – Lindsey Wilson College (Outside Linebackers/Asst. Strength & Conditioning)
2012 – Monmouth (Student Assistant Linebackers Coach)

As for Moeakiola, he comes to Athens after working as a defensive graduate assistant at TCU for that past few seasons. The former linebacker played his college football at Arizona State from 2012-16, where he was coached by now Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning.

At Arizona State, Moeakiola compiled 203 total tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, and seven sacks during his five-year Sun Devil career.
