Colin Ferrell is the newest addition to the Rutgers football coaching staff, bringing a strong resume to the Big Ten. This is a homecoming for Ferrell, who is from New Jersey.
The news was broken by Rutgers football insider Pete Thamel of ESPN on Tuesday morning.
He joins a program that went 7-6 (3-5 Big Ten) last year. Rutgers ended their season with a win over Miami in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
Ferrell, who played for Steinert High School (Hamilton, New Jersey), was a standout defensive lineman at Kent State for four years. He joined the MAC program’s staff in 2012 and has been an integral part of his alma mater ever since.
