BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Morgan State University head football coach Lee Hull announced the recent hiring of Travis Manger as an assistant coach for the Bears.

Manger, who will coach the Morgan State offensive line, joins the Bears staff from the University of Maryland where he spent three seasons helping the offensive unit as a graduate assistant coach under head coach Randy Edsall.

In 2012, he assisted coach Lee Hull with the wide receivers and the development of Terps standout Stefon Diggs. He also assisted coach Tom Brattan with the offensive line during the 2013, followed by coach Greg Studrawa in 2014.

Manger was a Graduate Extern at Temple University from 2009-2012. In that role he served primarily with academics and special teams. He assisted with the Owl's defensive line (2009-10) and work with the tight ends in 2011. His duties also included study hall, organized class checks in addition to other football duties assigned by the head coach.

He launched his coaching career as a student assistant coach at Temple (2008-09) where he assisted with the quarterbacks and tight ends.

A native of Newtown, Pa., Manger was a standout quarterback at Council Rock North High School. He was a two-time first team All-Conference selection (2002 & 2003) and was an All-State honorable mention.

Manger played quarterback for a season at Millersville University before he transferred to Temple. He played quarterback and tight end for the Owls under head coach Bobby Wallace (2005), and completed his career at Temple under head coach Al Golden (2006-2007). Manger, who began as a walk-on for the Owls, earned a scholarship during the spring of 2007, and was the recipient of the Dr. Chodoff Academic Excellence Award.

Manger earned his Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Temple August 2008, and earned a Master's degree in Sports Psychology from Temple in 2013. He is currently working toward completing his second Master's degree in Public Health from the University of Maryland.
