Troy continues to build its football coaching staff with a familiar face in Evan McKissack, a former Ole Miss linebacker in Tayler Polk plus Brock Hays, who is considered a rising star in the profession.
McKissack, a Hoover native who was an All-Sun Belt center at Troy in 2013 and spent time as an assistant at Enterprise High, has been named tight ends coach.
Polk, who spent the past two seasons at Central Arkansas, will coach inside linebackers. Hays, who will coach running backs, served the past three seasons at Louisiana Tech.
New Troy head coach Jon Sumrall made the announcement of the hires on Thursday.
