Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green State University football coach Gregg Brandon has announced that Zach Azzanni has been named wide receivers coach for the Falcon football team. Azzanni will begin his third year at BGSU after spending the last two as a graduate assistant. He worked with the tight ends and punt block unit the previous two seasons.
"Zach is someone who is familiar with our system and has a bright future in our profession," said Brandon. "His experience as a player in the MAC and as a coach that last two years with us will be a tremendous asset."
Azzanni joined the Falcon staff prior to the 2001 season after spending two seasons as wide receivers coach at Valparaiso University.

Azzanni earned a bachelor's degree in sports management from CMU in 1999 and is pursuing a master's degree in educational administration. He will marry Julia Gienapp in July of 2003.
