Western Kentucky defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach Clayton White was listed as one of 56 nominees for the Broyles Award, the organization announced Tuesday. It is the third time in four seasons with the Hilltoppers that he has been named a Broyles Award nominee (2020, 2019 and 2017).
The honor recognizes the top assistant coach out of approximately 1,270 in 127 FBS programs across the country. White is one of only 24 defensive coordinators, one of 24 non-Power Five coaches and one of four from Conference USA (LA Tech outside receivers coach John Allen, Marshall defensive coordinator Brad Lambert and North Texas co-offensive coordinator Mike Bloesch) to make the list.
