Tennessee assistant Zach Azzanni “will be a candidate” for the offensive coordinator’s position at Maryland, according to a Wednesday tweet from Dan Wolken of USA Today.

Azzanni, the Vols’ passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach and a longtime ally of Tennessee head coach Butch Jones, reportedly is “close friends” with soon-to-be-hired Maryland coach D.J. Durkin from their time working together under Urban Meyer.

“Tennessee assistant Zach Azzanni will be a candidate to join Durkin as Maryland’s OC, per source. Worked together under Urban, close friends,” Wolken tweeted Wednesday afternoon.
