Michigan offensive line coach Grant Newsome is widely regarded as a rising star in the coaching ranks. Before joining the coaching staff as an associate assistant in 2018, he was a member of Michigan’s offensive line unit from 2015-2017. Unfortunately, an injury during the 2016 season would ultimately force Newsome to medically retire following the 2017 season.

With his playing days behind him, Newsome turned his attention to his coaching career. He spent his first four years as a graduate assistant on Michigan’s staff, working with the tight ends (2018-19) and offensive line (2020-21). Newsome then became a full-time assistant as tight ends coach from 2022-23 before transitioning to his current role as offensive line coach.

On Tuesday, ESPN college football analyst Pete Thamel reported that Newsome is adding an impressive new title to his resume: chairman of the AFCA Assistant Coaches Committee.
