Nick Postma enters his second year as the defensive backs coach at Grand Valley State. Postma is making his second stint on the Laker coaching staff, having served as a graduate assistant in 2007.
Postma tutored two All-GLIAC performers (Zach Breen and Rob Carlisle) in 2010 and returns several key performers that are expected to make significant contributions in 2011. Postma's secondary picked off 18 passes and notched 35 pass deflections as a group in 2010.
Prior to his return to GVSU, Postma spent two years as an assistant coach at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio where he coached the defensive backs. Nick spent the 2006 campaign at Gannon University as a defensive backs coach.
A graduate of Saginaw Valley State, Postma earned a bachelor's degree in exercise science in June of 2005. Postma was a four-year letterwinner and a three-year starter for the Cardinals on the gridiron as a strong safety. Saginaw Valley State appeared in the NCAA Division II playoffs each of his playing seasons, while also capturing a GLIAC Championship in 2003. SVSU compiled an overall record of 39-9 and a GLIAC mark of 34-6 during his career. Postma, who recorded 110 career tackles, earned All-GLIAC honors as a senior.
"It is exciting to return to Grand Valley State and the football program," said Postma. "Grand Valley State has an incredible tradition on the football field and I am eager to get going and prepare for spring practice."
