FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman is expected to hire Nick Perry, a defensive quality control coach for the Seattle Seahawks, to fill the position of defensive backs coach for the Razorbacks.
Perry, a former Alabama standout safety, would replace Deron Wilson, who reportedly took the role as defensive coordinator at Georgia State last week. Wilson resigned his position with the Razorbacks on Jan. 3.
Perry, 33, spent the 2024 season with the Seahawks after serving as defensive backs coach for the Atlanta Falcons for two seasons (2021-22) and assistant wide receivers coach for one season (2023).
