Oberlin, Ohio – Former NFL player Lee Suggs is joining the Oberlin College football staff on full-time basis as quarterbacks coach after serving in a part-time role last season as running backs coach, head coach Jeff Ramsey announced on Wednesday.

Suggs, a former fourth round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2003 and Third-Team NCAA All-American, has the job of grooming young Yeomen QB's Joey Zebelian and Josh Mandel.

“I am grateful for this opportunity to be a part of the coaching staff here with a great group of guys,” Suggs said. “It is awesome to be involved again on daily basis with a sport I truly love while helping young men achieve their goals both athletically and academically.

The former Virginia Tech Hokie still holds the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision record with 27 consecutive games with at least one touchdown. Suggs, who was a two-time All Big East First-Team selection and the Big East Offensive Player of the Year in 2000, has the most rushing touchdowns in a season (27) and career (53) in the history of the Hokie program.

“We are so delighted to have Lee on board fulltime,” 11th-year head coach Jeff Ramsey said. “He is an amazing person of tremendous character who is a great fit for our team.”

Ramsey also announced that fifth-year assistant coach Alan Estep has been promoted to associate head coach and offensive coordinator. A 2005 graduate of Bluffton University, Estep has served as offensive line coach for the last four seasons. He takes over the role of associate head coach from Andy Stillman, who has accepted the position of defensive coordinator at Manchester College in Indiana.

Other new additions to the Yeomen staff include former Yeoman Kris DeVant (Safeties), Adam Sopkovich (Running Backs), Jehu Anderson (Defensive Backs) and Josh Schneider (Place Kickers/Punters).

Oberlin begins its season on September 5 at Washington & Jefferson College. The opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
