Will Harris, a former USC defensive back and San Jose State assistant, is set to join Washington’s coaching staff. The Athletic reported Thursday he will be UW’s 10th assistant for the upcoming 2018 season.
Harris becomes the second coach who will join Chris Petersen’s staff this offseason. UW hired former assistant Bush Hamdan as its new offensive coordinator to replace Jonathan Smith.
Smith left UW to become the head coach of his alma mater, Oregon State. Hamdan, who is the Atlanta Falcons’ quarterbacks coach, will join the Huskies after the end of the NFL season.
Harris’ specific role within the Huskies’ coaching staff was unclear.
