Mel Tucker and the Michigan State coaching staff have officially filled its final vacant assistant coach position. On Saturday, MSU announced that Brandon T. Jordan has been added to the defensive staff as “pass rush specialist.”
The move was expected, as news broke of Tucker’s plan to hire Jordan earlier in the week. Jordan is expected to coach Michigan State’s defensive ends and pass rushers, while defensive line coach Ron Burton is expected to shift his sole focus to the defensive tackles.
Jordan joins the staff after former Michigan State cornerbacks coach Travares Tillman left for Georgia Tech and former running backs coach William Peagler took a job with Florida.
