Quite a few former Auburn football players go on to become coaches after their player careers have ended. Several of them coach on the Tigers’ staff right now, including running backs coach Cadillac Williams, wide receivers coach Marcus Davis, and secondary coach Zac Etheridge.
But there are also a number of former Tigers who find coaching careers away from the Plains, and that group grew in number this week.
On Thursday, the University of North Alabama announced that former Auburn football running back Kerryon Johnson will join the staff of the football program, becoming UNA’s Director of Player Development.
