DENTON – Chris Petrilli has been promoted to outside linebackers coach and will also serve as a special teams coach, head coach Seth Littrell announced Wednesday.
Petrilli arrived at North Texas in 2017, where he started as a special teams volunteer before becoming the Mean Green's defensive quality control coach prior to the 2019 season.
As a part of the defensive staff in 2020, Petrilli helped defensive tackle Dion Novil become one of the most disruptive defenders in Conference USA. Novil finished the 2020 season with 37 tackles, 2.5 sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and a team-high 8.0 tackles for loss while earning First-Team All-Conference USA honors. Petrilli also assisted former Mean Green defensive end -- and current Dallas Cowboy -- Ladarius Hamilton to a stellar 2019 campaign that saw Hamilton finish with a team-high 8.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss.
North Texas just recently wrapped up spring practice and will kick off the 2021 season on Saturday, Sept. 4, in a non-conference tilt with Northwestern State at Apogee Stadium.
2021 football season ticket renewals will be available through the Mean Green Athletics Ticket Office until April 30. Season ticket holders have received notification of their invoice via the email address on file with the ticket office. Please note that invoices are based on seating from the 2019 season.
