East Tennessee State offensive line coach Erik Losey is set to serve in the same capacity at Southern Miss, according to multiple reports.
Both the Johnson City (Tennessee) Press as well as FootballScoop.com have cited unnamed sources in their reports that Losey is set to join the Golden Eagle coaching staff. Southern Miss has not made an announcement as of Friday morning. East Tennessee State issued a press release Thursday afternoon confirming Losey's departure.
Losey, who has spent the past three seasons in the same role at FCS member East Tennessee State, will replace Jack Wright, who was not retained by coach Jay Hopson after one season.
