Western Kentucky has promoted Tyson Summers to defensive coordinator, head coach Tyson Helton said Wednesday.
Summers joined the Hilltopper football staff in January as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach. He has 20 years of coaching experience.
“I’d like to thank Coach Helton for giving me the opportunity to lead our defense,” Summers said in a news release. “I’m looking forward to working with our student-athletes and staff as we continue to build off our program’s success.”
Before coming to WKU, Summers most recently served as a defensive analyst for Florida during the 2021 campaign, when the Gators ranked 25th in the nation in passing yards allowed per game.
