Arizona has finally announced the hiring of Marcel Yates as its next defensive coordinator today. And as expected he will coach the linebacker unit. Even though he was originally brought on to replace David Lockwood it will be Jahmile Addae with the safeties and Donte Williams with the cornerbacks.
“I am thrilled to welcome Coach Yates into our program,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “I have been impressed with the way his teams have defended, especially the last two seasons at Boise State. He has a proven track record as an outstanding recruiter and he knows how to develop players. There is no question he embodies the personality we are looking for as we strive to build the best program in America.”
