As Joe Harasymiak continues to get comfortable in Amherst, he’s making sure he surrounds himself with quality people and coaches.

On Tuesday, Harasymiak and the Minutemen announced three more moves with his staff ahead of spring ball starting in a few weeks. Josh Heinrich was named Chief of Staff, Jared Osumah is now the General Manager and Kevin Juszynski is the Director of Football Operations.

Heinrich spent the last six years as the Director of Football Operations and Assistant Director of Player Personnel at Stony Brook. Before that, he was the Director of Football Operations and an NFL liaison at Maine in 2018. The Black Bears went to the FCS semis that year. In 2016 and 2017 he was Maine’s Director of Player Personnel and a video coordinator. He was also at Fordham for a year before going to Orono. The spring of 2015 was spent as an intern at Syracuse.

As an undergrad at the SUNY, Heinrich was a quality control coach for three years.

Osumah brings some recent NFL experience after serving as a scouting assistant for the Giants the last three years. Prior to his time in the league, Osumah had a five month stint at Rutgers as an Assistant Director of Recruiting. Osumah is a former Maine wide receiver (2014-17) and a South Windsor, Connecticut, native.

Juszynski is bringing ACC experience and plenty more after serving as the Hokies’ Director of Football Operations the last three years.

Juszynski has also served as an operations intern for two seasons at Penn State. Before that, he got a little NFL experience working as an event operations intern for the Kansas City Chiefs during their 2021 training camp. He also served as part of NFL Green – the league’s program that migrates the environmental impact of the major events – at the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville, Tennessee. Juszynski is a Penn State grad.

With a wealth of knowledge and experience himself and some comfortability with former Maine guys, Harasymiak’s transition to the on-field communication and overall working environment with his staff should be a good one, at least on paper. Ideas and different ways of doing things being bandied about between guys who have NFL, ACC, Big 10 and other places to pull from can only be a good thing for a program desperate for some success.
