Nebraska football is expected to hire Philadelphia Eagles defensive assistant Tyler Yelk as its new safeties coach. This was reported by Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.
The Huskers lost its previous safety coach, Miles Taylor, to the Baltimore Ravens. Now, Yelk will be able to fill in at the spot.

Yelk spent three seasons with the Eagles in various support roles, including serving as an assistant to the head coach and a defensive assistant. He was a part of the Eagles coaching staff that won the Super Bowl.
He spent 14 years in the college ranks, including as the defensive backs coach at Temple and the safeties coach at Idaho. While at Idaho, the defense was near the top of the FCS in interceptions in total defense.
This has the potential to be a strong pickup for the program as it looks to round out the coaching staff and head into spring practices.
