ODU doesn't have a player registered with the #82 so one of the coaches plus one of the incoming freshman this year...
Keita Malloy is in his third season as a member of the ODU coaching staff serving as the wide receivers and tight ends coach.
In the first season of Division I football at Old Dominion, Malloy helped coach the Monarchs to the winningest start-up FCS record in the nation at 9-2. Malloy's wide receivers and tight ends helped the Monarchs average just under 400 yards per game in total offense, ranking the team among the top 20 nationally in total offense.
Malloy came to ODU after having spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
While on staff with the Bantams, he worked with two all-conference wide receivers in Chris Olenoski and Joe Clark. He served as the tight ends coach (2003) and running backs coach (2004 & 2005) at Fordham University, where he also oversaw the team's academics. While at Fordham in 2005, Malloy helped James Prydatko earn Second Team All-Patriot League honors as he became just the second Ram running back to rush for more than 1,000 yards on the I-AA level. In 2004, he guided freshman Jonte Coven to the Patriot League Rookie of the Year award.
Malloy also served as an assistant coach at West Georgia State University and Lafayatte College. At West Georgia he coached wide receivers and a kickoff return team that set a school record with a 99-yard touchdown return. In addition, he guided receiver Detron Harris to a single-season record 63 catches in 2002, helping him earn an invitation to training camp with the Tennessee Titans. Malloy also served as the recruiting coordinator and pro liaison at West Georgia.
At Lafayette College in 2000, Malloy coached the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Phil Yarberough, who set the school's career receiving records. He then moved on to Washburn University in 2001 where he coached the running backs and wide receivers, as well as directing the kickoff return team. At Washburn, Malloy helped Colon McNeal to second team all-conference honors as well as an appearance in the Cactus Bowl, the NCAA Division II All-Star Game.
A 1995 graduate of the University of Delaware where he was a three-year letterwinner, Malloy played wide receiver and defensive back for the Blue Hens. He was an all-conference wide receiver while helping Delaware win back-to-back league titles and earn three NCAA Division I-AA playoff bids. Malloy, who also holds a master's degree in education from American Intercontinental University, played professionally in the Arena Football League from 1994 to 1996 for the Massachusetts Marauders, the Albany Firebirds, and the Texas Terror.
