UNLV strength coaches Keith Belton, Jeff Eaton bring the noise even when Tony Sanchez d0esn’t

Tony Sanchez talks fast, walks fast and his energy is off the charts. But the UNLV football coach has got nothing on Rebels strength and conditioning coach Keith Belton and his assistant, Jeff Eaton.

“I’m a pretty high-energy guy, but I don’t know if anybody beats Keith,” Sanchez said Monday after UNLV’s practice at Rebel Park.

Belton and Eaton are usually the most animated coaches during practice, shouting words of encouragement, sprinting alongside players on touchdown runs and exchanging chest bumps with them on the sidelines.

“They get us hyped up every morning,” senior linebacker Ryan McAleenan said.
