Chris Zarkoskie comes to College Hill after three years as tight ends coach at UNH. He worked as a strength & conditioning intern for the UNH athletic department in the 2014-15 academic year.
“Chris was an outstanding player at UNH, who became a great coach and asset for them,” said Estes. “Chris and Kevin will implement the offense that they played at UNH and bring that success to our offense at Brown.”
Zarkoskie graduated from UNH in 2013 with a degree in Psychology. The four-year letterwinner (2009-12) and three-year starter on the offensive line served as a senior captain in 2012, when he claimed a spot on the All-CAA Third-Team.
The native of West Caldwell, N.J., was the recipient of CAA football's inaugural Chuck Boone Leadership Award in spring 2013 for embodying the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic achievements.
Zarkoskie is a two-time member (2011, '12) of both the Capital One Academic NCAA Division I Football District I First Team and the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team. He earned CAA Academic All-Conference Team honors and received the CAA Commissioner's Academic Award three straight years (2010-12), and was named to the 2013 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, which was comprised of college football players from all divisions who maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college career.
