Hammerschmidt was a four-year starter at defensive back at CSU from 1982-85. Besides his two-year coaching stint at VMI, Hammerschmidt also has coached at Duke and Texas Christian.

He was defensive backs coach at VMI until last month, when he was promoted to defensive coordinator. Lubick said Wednesday that Hammerschmidt will join CSU immediately for spring training.
