The New York Giants have hired Grant Newsome as an assistant offensive line coach, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Newsome spent the past two seasons as Michigan ‘s offensive line coach.
Before coaching the Wolverines’ front five, he was Michigan’s tight ends coach from 2022-23. He mentored standout TE Colston Loveland , who was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Loveland recorded 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns for the Chicago Bears this past season. Newsome was a graduate assistant at Michigan from 2020-21 and a student assistant from 2018-19.
Under Newsome’s supervision, Michigan only allowed 1.62 sacks per game in the 2025 campaign. Additionally, the Wolverines averaged 210.2 rushing yards per contest, the 14th most in the country.
Newsome played in the 2015 and 2016 seasons for Michigan. However, just five games into his sophomore season, Newsome dislocated his right knee, fractured his tibia, tore three ligaments, damaged three nerves and destroyed his popliteal artery.
While Newsome remained on Michigan’s roster the next two seasons, his injury was career-ending. He immediately entered the coaching realm following his final collegiate season.
