Zach Barnett with Football Scoop is reporting that Brian Kelly is targeting Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White to be his new DC at LSU.

Sources said White is in Baton Rouge and a deal could come together quickly if White believes he would be a fit on Kelly's staff.

White has coordinated Kentucky's defense for the past three seasons and on staff for four, helping the Wildcats go 32-17 in that time. This year's team is a win away from a 10-win season for just the second time since 1977.

The report, if confirmed true, will likely mean that current LSU defensive coordinator Daronte Jones will not be retained on Kelly's staff.

White, a 39-year old coach from Concord, Massachusetts played linebacker in college at Georiga and then Wake Forest. Here's a look at his coaching resume:

2007–2008 Wake Forest (GA)
2009 Murray State (S)
2010–2011 Air Force (ILB)
2012–2013 Indianapolis Colts (DQC)
2014 Indianapolis Colts (asst. LB)
2015–2017 Indianapolis Colts (OLB)
2018 Kentucky (OLB)
2019–present Kentucky (DC/OLB)
