Clemson’s Adam Smotherman Joins Tony Elliott’s Staff at Virginia
Tony Elliott has made his first hire for the new Virginia football coaching staff.
Adam Smotherman, the senior assistant football strength and conditioning coach at Clemson, will join Elliott in Charlottesville as UVA’s strength and conditioning coach.
Smotherman has been on the strength and conditioning staff at Clemson for 10 years. He was most famously the “get-back coach” during Clemson’s games, pulling back defensive coordinator Brent Venables so that he would not go too far onto the field while he was coaching the Tiger defense.
Before Clemson, Smotherman served as the Assistant Director of Strength and Conditioning at Furman from 2012-2013 and directed the training of 12 sports at Furman.
Smotherman is Tony Elliott’s first hire on his UVA football coaching staff. We will have updates as Elliott fills more positions on the new Virginia football coaching staff for next season.
