ELON, N.C. – Elon University head football coach Rich Skrosky added Jerry Petercuskie to his staff in January of 2014 as the new Phoenix defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. A coaching veteran of 38 years, Petercuskie had previously spent six seasons at North Carolina State University as that program's special teams coach and recruiting coordinator.

Petercuskie recently sat down with Elon Phoenix Weekly, as the maroon and gold prepares for the upcoming Spring Game on April 26 at Rhodes Stadium.
