Charlotte 49ers head coach Brad Lambert filled his final staff vacancies on Wednesday as he announced that former Catawba College assistant head coach Keith Henry would serve the program as running backs coach.

Damien Gary will shift over into the vacated receivers coach role that Joe Tereshinski resigned from in February.

“Keith brings a lot of experience to our program,” said Lambert in a statement.. “Having coached on both sides of the ball, he brings an added dimension of a defensive perspective to our offense. We’re really glad he’s coming on board with us. He’s a North Carolina native who’s played in North Carolina and has recruited for many, many years in North and South Carolina. That will be a huge benefit to our program with the relationships he’s built over the years. He’s been very successful and been a part of winning football at Ohio, Wake Forest and Catawba.”

On Tuesday, Lambert announced that the 49ers hired Greg Adkins as the team’s offensive line coach. Adkins spent the prior two years with the Buffalo Bills as a tight ends coach.

Johnson Richardson will coach the 49ers tight ends and outside linebackers coach Ulrick Edmons will take over as the 49ers recruiting coordinator.
