Stonington’s Chapman a UConn assistant

Randy Edsall has made three additions to his UConn football coaching staff, including Stonington School graduate and former walk-on Ben Chapman.

Chapman was a member of the team from 2008-11 when the Huskies played in three bowl games, including the 2011 Fiesta Bowl after UConn won the 2010 Big East championship. He joins the program as an offensive graduate assistant, working primarily with the offensive line.

After earning his degree in social science and sport in 2012, Chapman spent a year as a graduate assistant at Castleton University in Vermont, two seasons working with the offensive and defensive lines at Stonington High, and most recently as an assistant defensive line coach at Division II Stonehill College in Easton, Mass. He also spent part of the 2013 season as a player/coach with the Monash Warriors football team in Melbourne, Australia.

Edsall also announced the addition of Eddie Allen as special teams coordinator and Mike Moyseenko as the offensive quality control coach.

Allen, a 2003 University of New Haven graduate, joins the Huskies after serving as the special teams coordinator at Delaware since 2014. He is a 2003 graduate of the University of New Haven. Moyseenko, a 2007 Maryland graduate, spent the past four seasons as wide receivers coach at Towson University head coach Rob Ambrose, a former offensive coordinator under Edsall at UConn.
