Cathedral HS in Erie is like the Holy Grail for SU football.  We have tried to recruit a bunch of players from there in recent years without success.  Great program.  Would be great if this helps open that school up to Syracuse.

From what I have read, he is considered really smart, and is a well respected X's and O's guy.  Has experience coaching all off the place, so he bring a lot of flexibility.  Kaufman was our primary special teams coach so his extensive experience in special teams is a really good fit for us.

Looks like a good recruiter.  Recruited a couple of kids from Plainville East in NJ for Ball State.  Also, one of Kaufman's primary recruiting areas was WNY.  If you look at Edinboro's just signed recruiting class for 2017, it had 21 players.  Of those 21, 10 were from Western NY.

I suspect he will be assigned to this area and might be helpful recruiting it.  WNY has produced a lot of BCS level players in recent years, so I think this is very good news.
