Arizona Christian University coach Donnie Yantis is expected to join Arizona State coach Todd Graham's staff as on-campus recruiting coordinator, according to a source close to both parties.
Yantis would replace Patrick Suddes, who left in February for a similar position at Auburn.
In 2013, Yantis became the first head coach at Arizona Christian, an NAIA school. After a 2-7 first season, the Firestorm this year finished 6-3 overall and 6-0 in the Central States Football League .
Yantis later was selected as the NAIA Region 5 Coach of the Year.
Prior to his work at Arizona Christian, Yantis worked 14 seasons as head coach at Paradise Valley High School.
