Sacramento State football has hired Solomona Tapasa as its new defensive line coach. It is the last coach to fill out the coaching staff for the Hornets’ upcoming season.

Tapasa was last an offensive line coach at Western Oregon University. He also has experience as a defensive coordinator, coaching at Eastern Oregon.

The signing comes on the heels of Sac State selecting Jody Sears as its defensive coordinator. At national signing day, the Hornets signed 14 defensive players and four defensive lineman.

Sac State has signed 22 players overall for next season.

With the coaching staff set in place, Sac State can now begin the process of preparing for the 2014 season.
