The University of Delaware football program has expanded its coaching staff by bringing on three new analysts in preparation for the upcoming 2026 season, according to an announcement made Wednesday by head coach Ryan Carty.
The Blue Hens have hired Gabriel Mendez to fill an offensive analyst role where he will focus on developing the tight end position. Erik Pratt joins the staff as another offensive analyst and will concentrate his efforts on the offensive line unit. Meanwhile, Anthony Puntolillo comes aboard as a defensive analyst with responsibilities for coaching the linebacker corps.
The additions represent a strategic investment in the program’s analytical capabilities as the Blue Hens continue building toward the 2026 campaign under Carty’s leadership.
