ATLANTA–Liam Klein, a member of the Georgia Tech staff since 2003, has been named Tech’s Director of Player Personnel, head coach Chan Gailey announced.

A native of Norwood, N.J., Klein started three years on the offensive line for Division I-AA Monmouth University. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Monmouth in education and interdisciplinary in history and political science in 2001.
