Derham Cato is familiar with both UW’s football program and its next offensive coordinator.
Perhaps that’s why Cato — who has served for the last four seasons as an offensive analyst at Washington — has been promoted to tight ends coach, head coach Jimmy Lake announced Saturday.
“Derham has worked his way up to this position,” Lake said in a statement. “He’s a very smart coach and he’s a grinder. He’s knowledgeable in the passing and run games, and he’s been an offensive coordinator and coached tight ends.”
Cato agreed to a two-year deal with an annual salary of $225,000, according to the memorandum of understanding provided to The Seattle Times by UW on Saturday.
