The Football Letter Podcast Special: Matt Zanellato / Florida Gulf Coast Chapter
This week on The Football Letter Podcast, we were joined by letterman wide receiver Matt Zanellato (2011-15) and Florida Gulf Coast Chapter President Nick Bocci.
Now the wide receivers coach at UMass, Zanellato will be returning to Beaver Stadium this weekend as a member of the Minutemen staff. Previous coaching stops for Matt include time at Lock Haven (Pa.), Davenport (MI.), Saginaw Valley State (MI.), and Western Michigan.
In part one (0:56), we spoke with Matt about choosing to stay at Penn State, when he knew he wanted to get into coaching, the bond between football lettermen, and the emotions of returning to Beaver Stadium on the opposing sideline this weekend.
