Michigan’s ebullient defensive line coach Shaun Nua is leaving the Wolverines to coach the same position group at USC.
A source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed Nua's move to The Detroit News that was first reported by Yahoo on Wednesday morning. Nua, completing his third season at Michigan, helped guide the interior of the Wolverines’ defensive line during the 12-2 season as well as the crown jewel of the defense, edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, a consensus All-American and Heisman Trophy runner-up.
Nua, 40, is joining the staff of new USC coach Lincoln Riley, who left Oklahoma to take over the Trojans.
