Sam Houston to add top young FCS DC to the same position

Sam Houston is set to name Abilene Christian defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity to the same position, making the DCTF 40-under-40 selection one of the youngest coordinators in FBS. Ben Sorrells of SportsofSHSU was the first to report the news on Twitter.

Cassity spent the last two seasons as defensive coordinator at Abilene Christian, where he led the Wildcats to the top-ranked scoring defense in the Western Athletic Conference in 2022 and the fifth-best scoring defense in the United Athletic Conference this season. He was named to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football 40-under-40 list in 2023.
