BG Football Hires New LB Coach

Coach Loeffler has filled the outside linebackers coaching position vacated when Cato June went to work in the NFL.

The man's name is Sammy Lawanson, who was a college teammate of Eric Lewis, who is BG's DC.  He's coached in HS, college and the pros, if you count the XFL. Most recently he was at Northern Arizona, where the head coach was happy to get him after the XFL shutdown, citing his energy and teaching ability.  Before that he was DC at Sacramento State.  He was also at Arizona State, Cal Poly and Tulsa, as well as almost a decade of coaching in (brace yourself) Texas High Schools.  At some point he crossed paths with Todd Graham, so let's hope nothing rubbed off.

Welcome to the Falcons, Sammy
