Former Duck and Tennessee Titan Linebacker Peter Sirmon has told Ducks Sports News that he has officially accepted the position of Linebackers Coach at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington.
Sirmon, 31, is a native of Walla Walla, Washington. At Walla Walla High School, Sirmon was named Washington Defensive Player of the Year by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer after leading his team to the State AAA Championship game. After a four-year letterman linebacker career at the University of Oregon, Sirmon was drafted in the fourth round by the Tennessee Titans. In 2007, Sirmon retired after playing seven years in the NFL.
On the chance to return to his home State, Sirmon said, “I’m very excited about returning to the Northwest and getting an opportunity to pursue something that I love, which is being around and coaching football.”
As a side note, Duck Sports News would like to congratulate Peter on tackling this new challenge. We would also like to thank him for contributing to Duck Sports News from the very beginning.
Peter, thank you and good luck.
