Aaron Stamn Tight Ends/Special Teams Coordinator Third Year E-mail: abstamn@buffalo.edu Phone: 716-645-6818 Office: 104 Stadium

Aaron Stamn returns for his third season as UB’s tight ends coach and special teams coordinator. The special teams have flourished under his guidance.

In 2007, kicker A.J. Principe was named Sporting News Freshman All-America Honorable Mention after hitting 15-of-20 field goals for the season, including nine straight at one point, and connected on 32-of-34 PATs in the finest freshman season by a kicker in UB’s history. In addition, punter Ben Woods was named a finalist for the Ray Guy Award and finished his career as the school record holder in nearly every statistical category. In addition, the Bulls blocked five kicks.

In 2006, he led the special teams unit to one of its finest seasons in recent years. Under his tutelage, the special teams unit returned its first kick for a touchdown since 1989 and blocked seven kicks - the most by a UB team since the 1996 season.

Prior to coming to UB, Stamn spent the two seasons at Nebraska as a defensive assistant, working with Huskers’ defensive line with coach John Blake, and helping that unit lead the nation with 50 sacks in 2005 and an Alamo Bowl victory win over Michigan. That sack figure is the second highest in Nebraska’s long and rich football history.

Stamn came to Nebraska from St. Cloud State in Minnesota, where he served as a graduate assistant coach for two years (2002-03). In 2002, he assisted with the defensive line and outside linebackers as the Huskies ranked third in Division II in rush defense while posting a 9-2 record. In 2003, Stamn helped St. Cloud to a 7-4 record while coaching the linebackers.
