As noted earlier, DiFede hails from Miami, Florida, but has strong ties to New Jersey, where he served as the wide receivers coach at FDU-Florham for two years while earning his Master’s Degree. Additionally, in 2011, he worked as a recruiting intern for the FIU Football program under then-Head Coach Mario Cristobal, further connecting him to the program.
Prior to that, DiFede spent four years at Dickinson College, where he was a football letterwinner and a team captain, while he earning his bachelor’s degree in International Business and Management back in 2012.
DiFede will join recently named Director of College Personnel Oren Wilson in a new branch of the Scarlet Knights personnel department, as they will help the program to manage the Transfer Portal and everything that comes with it going forward.
