Sources: CU Buffs to hire DB coach from Georgia

Another member of Georgia's football staff will be joining Mel Tucker in Boulder.

Tucker, Colorado's new head coach, is set to hire Travares Tillman as a defensive backs coach, according to multiple BuffZone.com sources.

A defensive quality control assistant with Georgia and former NFL veteran, Tillman will remain with the Bulldogs through their Jan. 1 matchup with Texas in the Sugar Bowl before starting his job at CU, according to one source.

Tucker was hired by CU earlier this month after three years as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Georgia. Tillman will be the third member of Georgia's staff to join Tucker at CU, along with offensive coordinator Jay Johnson and defensive coordinator Tyson Summers.
