LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas football head coach Les Miles began to shape his staff as he announced the hiring of Chevis Jackson to coach the KU defensive backs on Sunday. Jackson, who played an instrumental role on Miles' 2007 LSU team that took home a National Championship, spent the previous three seasons mentoring the defensive backs at Ball State.

"Chevis is one of the top young coaches in the game," said Miles. "He works hard to make a positive impact both on and off the field with the student-athletes he works with. He knows what it takes to be successful on the greatest stage in college football and will help instill that mindset to our program."
