Paul Chryst continues to give former University of Wisconsin players the opportunity to coach on his staff.

Former Badgers Jeff Duckworth and Pat Muldoon have joined UW as graduate assistants for the 2016 season after former offensive lineman Al Johnson joined the staff in the same capacity this spring.

Duckworth and Muldoon both played for the Badgers from 2010-13, when Chryst was the program’s offensive coordinator. Duckworth caught 39 passes for 498 yards and four touchdowns during his career, while Muldoon, a defensive lineman, recorded 66 tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss during his four years with UW.

Johnson, a three-year starter for the Badgers, was drafted in the second round of the NFL draft and played six years professionally for the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals.

Duckworth (Kent State) and Muldoon (Florida Atlantic) left other graduate assistant positions to join UW. Johnson was most recently the offensive coordinator of Division III St. Norbert College.

Other former UW players to be recently hired as graduate assistants include Antonio Fenelus, Kyle Costigan and Jon Budmayr.
