Head Coach Darrin Horn on Kizel
“Joey Kizel has been by my side as a GA the last two years at Texas and was the obvious choice for me as our video coordinator. He is organized, a relentless worker and able to take on a variety of tasks and perform them well. We are fortunate to have someone of his ability in his position.”
