Sean Duggan is in his first season with the University of Massachusetts football program in 2018 and currently serves as the team’s linebackers coach. It is a coaching responsibility Duggan is familiar with from experience as a student-athlete and coach.
“UMass has a strong football tradition and a high standard of academic excellence,” Duggan said. “I feel fortunate to be part of the program and to be around this great group of coaches. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is like a second home for me and I could not be more excited to be back.”
He served on the University of Hawai’i staff as the linebackers coach for the 2016 and 2017 seasons following one year as a graduate assistant at Boston College. He was also a four-year letterwinner for the Eagles from 2011-14.
