Address changes, accolades for ex-Demons

Former Demon offensive line coach Blake Miller, whose coaching ability might have been exceeded by his considerable culinary talents during his two years (1998-99) on the NSU football staff, is moving west.

Miller has been on the staff at Rice for the past three years. He's been hired as the O-line coach at Utah.

Miller will be in the capitol of the Morman religion with the Utes, coaching in a stadium the world knows as the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics ....

... NSU three-sport athlete and former academic advisor extraordinare Julie Lessiter is back in the business. Lessiter left NSU last January to enter private business, to see if she would enjoy living a "normal" lifestyle working managing a medical practice in Shreveport-Bossier.

She's been announced now as the associate AD for student services and senior woman administrator at Arkansas State.

There she'll be working again with some old friends, head football coach Steve Roberts and several of his staff who were at NSU before heading up to northeast Arkansas in the winter of 2001.

The Southampton, England native made a huge difference in the lives of many student-athletes during her time at NSU, serving nine years as the "academic coach" for Demons and Lady Demons.

She played tennis, ran cross country and ran track for NSU during her undergraduate days. She has two undergraduate degrees from Northwestern ....

...The 1995 Southland Conference baseball player of the year is turning into a heck of a football recruiter. Terry Joseph was spotlighted by Rivals.com for his job as recruiting coordinator at Louisiana Tech, where he is also the secondary coach.

TJ was listed as one of the top 10 recruiters at non-BCS schools in the bowl subdivision.
