Pat Henderson, a former Kansas University football player who has been an assistant coach under Mark Mangino for the last three years, has moved into the Williams Fund office.

Henderson, who played linebacker for the Jayhawks in the early 1970s, will assist in major fund-raising efforts and in football-alumni relations.

“Pat has played a major role in rebuilding the KU football program,” Mangino said. “We’re excited for him as he starts his new challenge. He’ll still have a big impact on our program in this new position.”

Henderson, 52, has worked as an assistant coach at Southern Methodist, Arizona State, Purdue, TCU, Tulsa and Nebraska-Omaha, where he earned a graduate degree in 1980.
