PROVO — With just a little more than two weeks before BYU opens spring practices, coach Kalani Sitake announced that Eric Mateos has been hired as the program’s new offensive line coach Thursday.
Mateos replaces Ryan Pugh, who left the Cougars after one season to become the new offensive coordinator at Troy.
“Eric is a great person with quality character that will fit in phenomenally with our players and staff,” said offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes. “He will take our young group a step further and is a master at building confidence and group cohesiveness. I know our players will really respond well to him.
