A few weeks after Greg Schiano hired one of North Jersey’s top high school coaches, he has added one from South Jersey to his Rutgers staff.

Timber Creek’s Rob Hinson will leave the Camden County powerhouse after 14 seasons to become a player personnel assistant for the Scarlet Knights. His hire comes after Schiano landed St. Joseph of Montvale’s Augie Hoffmann as his running backs coach. Former Bergen Catholic coach Nunzio Campanile, who served as Rutgers’ interim head coach last season following Chris Ash’s firing, was also retained by Schiano as the program’s tight ends coach.

“Rob is a tremendous leader of young men and we are excited to have him join the Rutgers football family,” Schiano said in a release. “Rob and I have known each other for over a decade and his love for teaching and developing his players has always been evident. I look forward to having him in the program and preparing our players for life on and off the field.”

Hinson won over 100 games at Timber Creek and led the Chargers to four sectional titles. He is a Rutgers-Camden graduate and a retired Air Force master sergeant. Rutgers also has former Eastern coach Dan Spittal as a member of its support staff, and former Hillsborough, Passaic and South Brunswick coach Rick Mantz also works with the program.

Rutgers likely cannot active recruit Timber Creek for two seasons due to NCAA regulations since Hinson was not hired to an on-field coaching position.
