Hagans has been the receivers coach for 11 years at Virginia where he’s coached 15 out of the top-20 receivers on Virginia’s career receptions list.
One of the most notable receivers he’s coached is current Atlanta Falcons receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, who had 250 catches from 2015-2018 as a Cavalier.
Before Virginia, Hagans played quarterback for the Cavaliers and then played wideout in the NFL from 2006-2010 on four different teams.
