Florida State to Hire Nebraska DC Tony White; DL Coach Terrance Knighton Also Expected to Join
Dec 2, 2024, 04:18 PM
Florida State University is expected to hire Tony White as its new defensive coordinator, with the decision anticipated to be finalized today. Tony White has been serving as the defensive coordinator at Nebraska, where his defenses, along with his previous defenses at Syracuse from 2021 to 2022, have finished in the top 25 nationally in total defense over the past four seasons. White brings familiarity with the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) from his time at Syracuse. Additionally, Nebraska's defensive line coach, Terrance Knighton, is expected to join White at Florida State. The move is seen as a significant hire for head coach Mike Norvell as he aims to strengthen the Seminoles' defense.
