Rutland Raiders Name New Defensive Coordinator

The Rutland Raiders have promoted long-time assistant coach, Tom Johnson, to defensive coordinator. Johnson spent five seasons developing the team's defensive line and has been instrumental in Rutland's resurgence as a Division I powerhouse. The Raiders have posted a 25-15 record over the past three seasons, including a 9-3 mark in 2024. Johnson's elevation is expected to have a significant impact on the team's recruiting efforts, as he will now be a key figure in shaping the program's defensive strategy. With the loss of several key defensive players to graduation, Johnson's leadership will be crucial in preparing the team for the upcoming season.
