NC State Hires Joe DeForest as Safeties Coach
Last year Tony Gibson served as NC State’s Safeties Coach and Co-Defensive Coordinator, but he will be serving as the Wolfpack’s Defensive Coordinator and Linebacker’s Coach.
As a result, NC State was in need of a new Safeties Coach, and Joe DeForest will serve in that role.
For the past two seasons, DeForest served as the Outside Linebackers Coach at Southern California, and the Special Teams Coordinator at Kansas the two years before that.
Just like Brian Mitchell who was hired to be the Wolfpack Cornerback’s Coach today, DeForest has a connection to Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson.
DeForest worked at West Virginia from 2012-15, where he served alongside Gibson for three seasons.
