Nick Danielson came from Wyoming to Utah with new Ute offensive coordinator Dave Christensen and will serve as an offensive graduate assistant--the same title he held at Wyoming in 2012 before spending last season as the tight ends coach.
At Utah, Danielson will help coach the offensive line under another former Wyoming colleague, Jim Harding.
Danielson's first job was as a player-coach for the Arlanda Jets in Märsta, Sweden in 2011. He also helped coach the Jets' U11, U13 and U15 junior teams.
He spent the spring of 2012 as an assistant offensive line coach at the University of Puget Sound before accepting a graduate assistantship at Wyoming that summer.
Danielson was a three-time all-conference offensive lineman for Occidental College, where he lettered from 2007-10. He was a team captain and Occidental's Most Valuable Offensive Lineman as a senior. He
also participated in track at Occidental.
Danielson earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Occidental in 2011 and is currently taking graduate courses at Utah in educational psychology. A native of Snohomish, Wash., the 25-year-old Danielson was born Mar. 22, 1989.
