Morgan State football head coach Tyrone Wheatley will coach at the 73rd annual Reese's Senior Bowl. Some of college football's best suit up for the all-star game on Saturday, February 5 from Mobile, Alabama.
The Senior Bowl will feature a new minority coaching fellowship program allowing HBCU coaches to join the New York Jets and Detroit Lions' coaching staffs for the game. The HBCU coaches selected include Wheatley, Virginia State head coach Reggie Barlow, South Carolina State defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Jonathan Saxon, and Jackson State offensive coordinator/tight ends coach T.C. Taylor.
"This is an excellent opportunity for HBCU coaches to come alongside their NFL colleagues to learn, to share and create relationships, both professionally and personally," Troy Vincent, executive vice president of NFL Football Operations, said in a statement. "The choice of inclusion is part of the ongoing efforts to promote trust, develop skills and provide a foundation for future mobility."
