Report: Nebraska Football Defensive Line Coach Terrance Knighton to go to Florida State

Nebraska football could be looking at multiple openings on the coaching staff.

Multiple reports have indicated associate head coach and defensive coordinator Tony White will become the next DC at Florida State. Greg Smith of Rivals is also reporting that defensive line coach Terrance Knighton will follow White to Tallahassee.

Knighton came to Lincoln in 2023 with head coach Matt Rhule. He coached under Rhule with the Carolina Panthers and played at Temple when Rhule was an assistant.

Prior to joining Rhule’s staff in Carolina, Knighton coached at Wagner, an FCS program in New York. Before that, he enjoyed an NFL career that lasted seven seasons between Jacksonville, Denver, and Washington.
