Arizona promoting from within for new Running Back coach

Arizona offensive assistant Lyle Moevao is being promoted to running backs coach, as announced by head coach Brent Brennan on Monday. Moevao is replacing Alonzo Carter who Sacramento State hired as head coach earlier this month.

Brennan and Moevao originally worked on the Oregon State staff together from 2013 through 2016. Brennan was the Oregon State wide receivers coach from 2011 through 2016. Moevao was the offensive quality control assistant coach for RBs in 2013 and 2014 and for quarterbacks in 2015 and 2016.

Brennan hired Moevao as a defensive analyst in 2021 when he was the head coach at San Jose State.
