Va’a Niumatalolo’s continuing coaching education has brought him home — to the city where he was raised and with the program on which he was weaned.
In February, Va’a Niumatalolo was hired as assistant to the director of football operations. The 27-year-old Annapolis native is a step above being a graduate assistant and performing a variety of grunt work.
“You do anything and everything that is required. It’s not a glamorous job, but you learn the nuts-and-bolts of this profession,” Ken Niumatalolo said of the low-level staff position.
Brian Blick, entering his fourth year as director of football operations, has already tasked his new assistant with a wide variety of duties.
