Orono, Maine -- University of Maine head football coach Jordan Stevens has announced the hiring of Spencer Carey as the outside linebackers coach for the Black Bears.

"I'm excited to welcome Spencer Carey back to the University of Maine," Stevens says. "A former Black Bear, Coach Carey brings experience on the field and passion for Maine Football. Coach Carey will formulate strong relationships with our players and the University of Maine community."

Carey, who spent five seasons as a student-athlete with the Maine Football team, joins the Black Bears after spending the 2021 season as a defensive quality control coach at Harvard. Prior to his time with the Crimson, Carey served from June 2019 through May of 2021 as the defensive backs coach and video coordinator at Bates College. Carey began his coaching career at Maine Maritime Academy where he helped mentor and develop one all-conference selection and the NEWMAC co-rookie of the year at outside linebacker. Carey, a member of Maine's 2013 Colonial Athletic Association championship team, played three years at safety, a year at wide receiver, and one season at outside linebacker with the Black Bears while also serving as a four-year starter on four core special teams' units.
