Sources from inside the UTEP football program confirm that Tom Mason has signed a contract and will be announced as UTEP's next defensive coordinator.
UTEP is expected to make a formal announcement over the weekend, and will hold a press conference in the coming days.
Two names emerged early in the week, with Ken Flajole turning down an offer before he was introduced at a press conference yesterday, and Jeff Casteel turned down a deal on Wednesday.
Although today Coach Kugler moved quickly and we can confirm that Mason is in El Paso today and was shown around the facility and introduced to the entire coaching staff who will host recruits this weekend.
