Haverty and Dykes go back, as Haverty was a receiver at Texas Tech when Dykes was the Red Raiders' wide receivers coach.
A Richardson native who attended Berkner High School, Haverty started his coaching career at Midlothian High School. He spent three seasons as a graduate assistant at TCU and was the strong safeties coach in Fort Worth in 2011 before coaching receivers for the Frogs in 2012. He spent the next three seasons at his alma mater, the first two as Texas Tech's strong safeties coach and the third coaching outside linebackers.
Haverty spent the 2016 season as Lamar's defensive coordinator before heading to Austin for his defensive quality control position this past season.
