Jameson Zacharias arrived at Rose Hill in February of 2019 after serving for two years on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania staff, where he was in charge of the defensive backs. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2020-21 and will also coach the Fordham cornerbacks again in 2021.
 
In 2020-21, the Fordham secondary helped the Rams lead the Patriot League, and rank 17th in the NCAA FCS, with eight interceptions in three games. The 2020-21 Ram defense, led by junior linebacker Ryan Greenhagen, the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, also led the conference in red zone defense and passing yards allowed. In addition to Greenhagen, two other Rams earned First Team All-Patriot League honors with three more being named to the second team.

In his first season on Rose Hill, Zacharias coached a 2019 defensive unit that ranked third in the Patriot League in passes intercepted, led by junior cornerback Dervin Hylton, Jr., who record a pair of takeaways.

At Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2017, Crimson Hawk cornerback JR Stevens earned second team All-PSAC and first team All-Region honors under Zacharias' guidance.
 
Prior to his two years at IUP, Zacharias coached the outside linebackers and cornerbacks for three seasons at Central Michigan, working with defensive coordinator Greg Colby and defensive backs coach Archie Collins.
 
The Chippewas owned the sixth-ranked pass defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2016, giving up just under 223 yards per game through the air. Junior cornerback Amari Coleman tied for the MAC lead with four interceptions, returning two for touchdowns, and earned first team All-MAC honors.

Prior to his time in Mount Pleasant, Zacharias spent two seasons as the offensive quality control coach at Towson under Coach Rob Ambrose.
 
A 2013 graduate of Monmouth University where he earned a degree in criminal justice, Zacharias was a four-year member of the Hawks’ football squad.
