MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill announced today the hiring of Dustin Royston as the football programs 10th assistant coach. Royston, who served as a graduate assistant for the Blue Raiders in 2017, will be an assistant defensive line coach.
"Dustin was with our staff last year in a graduate assistant position and did an excellent job," said Stockstill. "I was impressed with his work ethic, communication skills and his knowledge of our defense. He will also do a great job in recruiting."
Royston focused on the defensive front in 2017 where the Raiders had an all-conference player in Walter Brady along with all-freshman team member Jordan Ferguson.
