UH names new outside receivers coach

Head football coach Tony Levine named Tony Jeffery as the program’s outside receivers coach on Monday. Jeffery replaces Brandon Middleton and comes to UH after spending the last four seasons as the receivers coach at UTSA.

“I am very excited to add Coach Jeffery to our staff,” Levine said. “He has a wealth of knowledge, is an outstanding teacher and a rising star in our profession. He is a tremendous addition to our program.”

Jeffery helped launch a UTSA program that had a combined record of 19-15 in its first three years of existence, including a 7-5 record in 2013 as a member of Conference USA. Jeffery’s receivers, playing in one of the nation’s most-balanced offenses, combined for 177 receptions and 2,004 yards in 2013. Jeffery also oversaw the Roadrunners’ special teams units in 2011 as the group blocked six kicks.
