	Position: Graduate Assistant - Offense Experience: 2nd Season at NIU

Marc Webel is in his second season as a graduate assistant coach at Northern Illinois, but has been working with head coach Jerry Kill since 2001.

Webel, who will work primarily with offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover and the offensive line again this year, played center and guard on Kill's 2001-03 Southern Illinois teams.

As the assistant to the offensive coordinator, Webel broke down film of the Salukis and their opponents and created scouting reports on both, all while continuing his academic advising duties and helping with recruiting.

Webel is currently pursuing his master's degree in sport studies from SIU, with an anticipated graduation in summer 2009. The Cropsey, Ill. native is married to the former Amber Britton.
