Chattanooga Mocs Rusty Wright has added Assumption University offensive coordinator Tommy Galt to his staff.
“Excited to have Tommy here,” Wright says. “His experience and knowledge of the position is going [to mesh well] with the older guys we have and the young guys we need to develop. He’s done that at every level.
“He fits in with what we’re trying to accomplish and how we want to get things done.”
Galt comes to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga from Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he coached two seasons. His offenses were prolific, averaging nearly 36 points per game. The Hounds led the Northeast 10 and ranked 21st nationally with a 37.2 scoring average in 2018.
Assumption also led the league in first downs, rushing touchdowns and yards per game in 2018. Galt’s offensive lines registered four All-NE10 honors, including first team All-American Quentin Hall and NE10 Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2019.
Galt’s experience ranges from Division I-A to Division II. He was the offensive line coach for Fordham in 2017, helping the Rams to 371.7 yards of total offense per game.
That came after two campaigns as offensive grad assistant and assistant offensive line coach at Penn State.
Galt’s time with the Nittany Lions included two bowl appearances at the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl and the 2017 Rose Bowl, which came after claiming the 2016 Big Ten crown.
He assisted with tight ends in 2015 and was the interim tight end coach against Georgia in Jacksonville before the battle with USC in the 103rd Rose Bowl a year later.
Galt spent two campaigns as offensive line and tight ends coach and run game coordinator at North Greenville University in 2013 and 2014. The Crusaders amassed more than 400 yards of total offense per game over those two seasons and in 2014 claimed a Victory Bowl win versus Shorter.
Galt got his coaching start in 2009 at Towson as an offensive quality control coach. That led to three years at the University of South Carolina.
Galt is a 2009 graduate of Maryland, where he played tight end and was reserve long snapper.
