Arizona officially hired Theron Aych as its wide receivers coach Saturday.
The former receivers coach at UTEP was on campus last week and, given Saturday’s announcement, should be on the field for next week’s practices.
The Wildcats are schedule to practice Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The latter is the team’s “Spring Showcase,” which is open to the public. The event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at Arizona Stadium.
Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said Friday that he plans to fill the remaining on-field assistant opening with a full-time special-teams coach, whom he expects to hire within the next two weeks.
Aych spent only one season at UTEP. Before that, he was the offensive coordinator at Angelo State in San Angelo, Texas. In 2015, when the Rams led Division II in total offense, Aych was a finalist for the Division II American Football Coach Association Assistant Coach of the Year award.
At Central Missouri, one of Aych’s previous stops, he coached Delanie Walker, the star tight end of the Tennessee Titans.
