This past year, cornerback Robert Javier was first in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in pass break-ups and second in total passes defended to be named Phil Steele All-CAA Second Team.
 
An All-ACC player at Virginia and former three-year Canadian Football League professional, Curry came to Towson from Maryville College, also having stops at William & Mary, Virginia State, Christopher Newport, Heritage H.S. and Hampton H.S.  He graduated from Virginia in 2004.

A DMV native from Arlington, Virginia, and longtime assistant at nearby Georgetown, Kolt will work with the offensive line.  Kolt has been with the Hoyas since 2011.
 
While with Georgetown, he has coached 13 all-conference players, including two All-Patriot League offensive linemen this past season, working with offensive line, defensive line and tight ends in his career.
