Hensell Named Graduate Assistant Football Coach

OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt announced Wednesday that Alan Hensell will serve with the Rebel coaching staff as a graduate assistant for offense.

Hensell is entering his second season at Ole Miss, having worked as a video graduate assistant during the 2007 campaign. Before his arrival in Oxford, Hensell made a pair of coaching stops at the Division III level.

He spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons as the quarterbacks coach at Wisconsin-River Falls, where he tutored Jeremy Wolff to All-WIAC honorable mention honors in 2006. Wolff passed for 865 yards and four touchdowns and also rushed for 536 and a team-high seven scores. He was also one of only three signal-callers in DIII selected to play in the Aztec Bowl.

A 2005 graduate of Franklin College (Ind.), Hensell lettered in football and baseball for the Grizzlies and went on to become an assistant coach for both teams following a knee injury that ended his career as a sophomore.  He served as FC’s outside linebackers coach in 2004 after beginning his football coaching career as the quarterbacks coach at Indianapolis’ Decatur Central High School in 2003.

On the diamond, Hensell was a member of Franklin’s 2002 squad that won the Heartland Conference championship. He later spent three seasons on the coaching staff and helped direct the 2005 unit to another league title.

A native of New Carlisle, Ind., Hensell earned 10 letters during his prep career at New Prairie High School and was a team captain in football, basketball and baseball.
