Clay Helton hires two football assistants at USC, including a brother

Clay Helton continued putting his name on USC's program and coaching staff on Monday.

Helton announced that he had hired his younger brother, Tyson, as running backs coach and passing-game coordinator. Helton also hired Neil Callaway, who was offensive line coach under the Heltons' father, Kim, at Houston during a 37-year coaching career.

Tyson Helton, 38, and Callaway, 60, coached this season at Western Kentucky, which won Conference USA and finished 12-2 with one of college football's most potent offenses.

Tyson Helton was Western Kentucky's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, although Coach Jeff Brohm called the plays.
