SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — USD football made an appearance at the second annual MVFC media day on Tuesday, including first year head coach Matt Vitzthum.

Vitzthum was named as the Coyotes head coach back in February following two seasons on staff as wide recievers coach and then as Co-Offensive Coordinator. Vitzthum, like any other head coach on the brink of a season, is confident and excited for how the Coyotes are looking leading up to August.

“Probably just like every coach and player in here today, I’m super optimistic and excited about the season,” Vitzthum said. “I feel like we have a really good team, really good coaching staff. Obviously, there’s some question marks just like every program has but excited to kind of answer those calls and excited to get going here in a couple of weeks.”

The Coyotes host Central Connecticut State on August 29 for the season opener.
