San Diego State offensive line coach Mike Schmidt is expected to join Syracuse’s coaching staff as the Orange’s new O-Line coach, according to a report from Pete Thamel of Yahoo! Sports. Schmidt has spent the last eight years as the O-Line coach at SDSU. He will replace Mike Cavanaugh, who left for Arizona State in January.
Schmidt has been involved with the Aztecs on and off the field since 2005. He played both offensive and defensive line at SDSU from 2005-2008 before becoming a volunteer and, later, a graduate assistant with the program. During his time as O-Line coach, three Aztecs have been selected in the NFL Draft, including Keith Ismael in the fifth round of the 2020 draft. Linemen Kyle Spalding (first team) and Zachary Thomas (second team) were both named All-Mountain West Conference this past season.
