Former NFL lineman and three-time Super Bowl winner Adrian Klemm joined the Bruin staff in December, 2011 after coaching four seasons at SMU. In just few short weeks in Westwood, he helped the Bruins bring in one of the nation's top recruiting classes and was named the Pac-12 Recruiter of the Year by 24/7 Sports. Klemm was also tabbed by Rivals.com as one of the nation's Top 25 recruiters. A four-year starter as a player at the University of Hawai'i, Klemm began volunteering with the SMU program in 2008 after spending seven seasons in the NFL and winning three Super Bowls (XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXIX) as a member of the New England Patriots.He made an immediate impact at SMU, quickly emerging as one of the nation's top recruiters. In 2011, SMU featured the nation's seventh-leading rusher in Zach Line (122.4 yards per game). Following the 2010 season, Klemm was named the top non-BCS AQ Recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com, and was further recognized by the outlet as one of the Top 25 recruiters in the country overall. Other services took note as well, as FoxSports/Scout.com named him the Conference USA Recruiter of the Year. Following this success, Klemm was named SMU's Recruiting Coordinator in the summer of 2011. On the field, Klemm tutored a young SMU line and guided tackle Kelvin Beachum to first-team all-conference honors. He also led J.T. Brooks and Blake McJunkin to honorable mention All-C-USA accolades. His unit paved the way for an SMU offense which set school records in total offense, passing yards, passing TDs and first downs among others. Running back Zach Line finished the season with 1,494 yards rushing, the second-best single-season total in school history, trailing only Eric Dickerson's 1982 effort. Line was just the second 1,000-yard collegiate rusher under coach Jones. In his first season at SMU, Klemm led Beachum to all-conference honors and Brooks and Josh LeRibeus earned honorable mention. The line blocked for an offense that passed for a then-school record 3,666 yards and produced the first collegiate 1,000-yard rusher under Jones. Klemm was the 46th overall selection in the 2000 NFL Draft after a standout career at Hawai'i. He played under June Jones during his senior season (1999), and was a part of the biggest turnaround in NCAA history, as Hawai'i improved from 0-12 to 9-4 and won a bowl game that season. Following the season, Klemm was selected as the starting left tackle at the Senior Bowl and also received invitations to the Hula Bowl and the East-West Shrine Game. He attended Saint Monica HS in Santa Monica, CA. RECRUITING RESPONSIBILITIES -- Orange County, South Bay, Westside, Valley.
