Former Ravens offensive lineman Edwin Mulitalo was named the head football coach at Division III Southern Virginia on Friday.

The Ravens took Mulitalo in the fourth round of the 1999 NFL draft, and the Arizona product went on to start 102 games in Baltimore, including Super Bowl XXV. A triceps injury in 2006 ended the guard’s tenure with the Ravens and led to Mulitalo’s release the following March, and he spent the final two seasons of his 10-year career with the Detroit Lions.

After retiring, Mulitalo served as the offensive line coach at Herriman High (Utah), spent 31/2 years in American Samoa with his family as a teacher and rugby coach and worked as a volunteer coach at Big Sky Conference school Southern Utah.

Mulitalo arrived in 2016 with then-coach Joe DuPaix as the Knights’ defensive line coach, and was promoted to defensive coordinator last year. Southern Virginia has gone 2-8 each of the past two seasons, finishing ninth in the New Jersey Athletic Conference both times.

“Coach Mulitalo is a great man and a great coach with strong relationships and universal respect of the players and coaching staff,” school President Reed N. Wilcox said in a release. “We’re confident that our Super Bowl champion head coach Mulitalo, with a fantastic assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in Danny DuPaix, will lead a seamless transition to take the team on to the next level.”

DuPaix left his post after being named named slotbacks coach at Navy, where he worked from 2008 to 2010.

Offseason dates announced: The NFL released the offseason workout schedule Monday and the Ravens are among the teams that will start their voluntary conditioning program April 16. Players who take part in the workout program will be mostly confined for the first two weeks to weight-room and classroom work.

The offseason workout program morphs into on-field organized team activities in May. Teams are permitted to have 10 OTAs, spanning three weeks of the offseason. Dates for the Ravens’ OTAs are: May 21-22 and May 24; May 29 and May 31-June 1; and June 5-8.

A three-day minicamp, the only workouts players are required to attend, will be June 12-14.
