Former Marshall University football player and assistant coach Shannon Morrison was recently named the new co-defensive coordinator at Eastern Kentucky University.
Morrison, who spent the last three seasons coaching the secondary at Ball State University, will also serve as the defensive backs coach under new Colonels coach Mark Elder.
“We are very fortunate to have Shannon join the staff at EKU,” Elder said in a news release. “As a player, Shannon was the captain for a FCS national championship team. He brings a wealth of knowledge, having been a defensive coordinator at several schools and having coached at the FBS level.
