Following his playing career at Troy and five years at Division III Huntingdon College in Alabama, the 31-year-old joined Alabama's staff as a graduate assistant 2009 and spent two seasons under new UT defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri.

"Derrick is a bright young coach with an incredibly high ceiling in this profession," UT coach Derek Dooley said in the release. "He worked with Sal Sunseri for two seasons and will be able to bring some systematic continuity to the defensive staff."
