Former Rutgers football players Quanzell Lambert and Myles Nash will be joining head coach Bill Belton’s staff at Winslow Township High School (Atco, N.J.). It makes for a staff with deep ties to the Big Ten.
Belton is a former running back at Penn State who has steadily risen up the coaching ranks in recent years. His new additions certainly strengthen his program, providing some high-level experience.
Last season, Winslow finished the season 6-4.
Lambert, who played his high school football at Cedar Creek (Sicklerville, N.J), was a former four-star recruit who became a multi-year starter at Rutgers as a defensive end. He was a part of the 2014 Scarlet Knights team that went 8-5 in their first season in the Big Ten and won the Quick Lanes Bowl under then-head coach Kyle Flood.
He will serve as Winslow’s linebackers coach.
As for Nash, he joins Belton’s staff as a defensive coordinator, having previously served as a defensive line assistant under head coach Greg Schiano at Rutgers. Also from Cedar Creek, Nash played as a defensive end and a tight end for the aforementioned Flood as well as Chris Ash. ESPN.com ranked Nash as a four-star recruit in high school

It was a big Thursday already for Belton’s team. Earlier in the day, prior to the announcement of his staff additions, a report surfaced that Jaylan Hornsby was going to transfer to the program.
Originally at Camden High School (Camden, N.J.), Hornsby is a four-star recruit and one of the top players in New Jersey in the class of 2024.
Belton has deep ties to Winslow, where he was a standout athlete and a former four-star recruit as part of the 2011 recruiting class. Rivals ranked him as the seventh-best player in New Jersey that year.
