Texas A&M Tabs Alum as Co-DC/Defensive Backs Coach

Jordan Peterson just couldn't resist the call to come home.

The 36-year-old was elevated to Kansas's Co-Defensive Coordinator role at the conclusion of the 2023 regular season. As defensive backs coach, Peterson mentored two-time All-Big 12 First Team cornerback Cobee Bryant and honorable mention all-conference pick Mello Dotson while finishing as the Big 12's No.1-ranked recruiter for the 2024 cycle. But those efforts didn't just catch the Jayhawks' eye. Mike Elko noticed too.
