Newsstand: Grant Newsome named chairmain of AFCA Assistant Coaches Committee
Michigan Wolverines offensive line coach Grant Newsome has been appointed to the AFCA Board of Trustees and will serve as the chairman of the AFCA Assistant Coaches Committee. At 27, Newsome becomes the youngest member to join the AFCA Board, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning coaching career.
Newsome, who has spent the past two seasons as Michigan’s tight ends coach, has quickly established himself as a rising star within the coaching community. His new roles with the AFCA reflect both his impressive coaching acumen and his leadership capabilities. As a trustee, Newsome will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the American Football Coaches Association, an organization dedicated to the advancement and support of football coaches nationwide.
It’s no surprise given his background, and former head coach Jim Harbaugh once called him a rising star.
“Once he has maybe a year or two under his belt as offensive line coach, just like Sherrone Moore, he’ll be the coordinator,” Harbaugh said in 2023. “And then, at that point, when we can’t give him any more money or any more titles, somebody will snatch him up to be a head coach. Mark my words, and mark them well. That will happen.”

Michigan quote of the day
“It’s just, the analogy of a rocket taking off, you know? Then, before you know it, boom. Or a plane going down the runway. It starts at a dead stop, and then it builds up speed, gets faster and faster, going so fast that it just has to leave the ground, and then, you know, there’s a little bit of a glide that takes place, and then, before you know It, you’re up to 30,000 feet.”
