ROLLA, MO- With the 2019-2020 season completed, we wanted to get to know our coaches and department staff during this time.
Today, we get to know a little more about one of our assistant football coaches,
DJ Bland, who works with the team's defensive backs and helped a unit that ranked as one of the top of the GLVC in 2019 forcing 19 turnovers in 11 games, recovering 11 fumbles, and had a turnover margin of just over 1.0.
