FAYETTEVILLE — A former Sam Pittman assistant is expected to rejoin Arkansas football under new coach Ryan Silverfield. According to a report Wednesday from CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, Silverfield and his staff are targeting Deron Wilson as secondary coach.
Wilson spent two seasons coaching the secondary under Pittman in 2023 and 2024. He left Fayetteville initally to become defensive coordinator at Georgia State but was there for about a month before heading to Florida as defensive backs coach.
He spent the 2025 season with the Gators under defensive coordinator Ron Roberts, whom Silverfield has reportedly hired for the same role at Arkansas.
