Purdue announces 4 new assistants to Jeff Brohm's staff
Jeff Brohm announced additions to his coaching staff on Tuesday
David Elson (linebackers), Garrick McGee (wide receivers), Ryan Wallace (tight ends/assistant offensive line) and Ashton Youboty (cornerbacks) were all named as the Boilermakers’ newest assistant coaches.
Elson was promoted after he joined the program last August. Elson, a former head coach at Western Kentucky and a defensive coordinator at several stops, spent the 2021 campaign with Purdue as a defensive quality control coach. Meanwhile, Wallace completed his fifth season on Brohm’s staff, serving as an offensive and special teams assistant. The duo helped Purdue to one of the best seasons in program history, as the Boilermakers went 9-4, knocked off two top-five teams and won the Music City Bowl.
McGee joins the Boilermakers with 26 years of coaching experience, including time as the head coach at UAB and several stints as an offensive coordinator. He most recently coached quarterbacks at Florida in 2021, but has 6 years under his belt as a wide receivers coach. On the other side of the ball, Youboty was an All-Big Ten cornerback at Ohio State and played 5 seasons in the NFL before he made the transition into coaching. He coached cornerbacks at Youngstown State for the past 2 seasons after he served as a quality control coach at Wisconsin for 3 years.
