Auburn has hired former Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Austin Davis as its new offensive coordinator, the school announced on Saturday.
Davis, a former walk-on who became an All-Conference USA quarterback at Southern Miss, spent seven years playing in the NFL before becoming a coach in 2019.
The 32-year-old started out as an offensive assistant coach with the Seahawks before being promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2020.
His hire at Auburn was accompanied by statements from Seahawks coach Pete Carrol and quarterback Russell Wilson, among others.
"I think Austin is going to be a brilliant offensive coordinator and potential head coach one day," Wilson said in a statement.
