Brandon Shelby has been named the new secondary coach for the Portland State football program.
Shelby joins PSU after being the defensive backs coach at the University of San Diego in 2008 where the Toreros went 9-2. He will take over as coach of the Viking cornerbacks and safeties and begin working with them during spring football.
"We were fortunate to interview 10 secondary coaches and probably all 10 would have done a good job, but Brandon was the best of the group," said Viking Head Coach Jerry Glanville. "He will be challenged by coaching a very young group, but they are talented. Brandon will make us better than we have been in the secondary."
Shelby is a 2004 graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Business Management. He also earned a Masters degree in Human Relations from Oklahoma in 2005.
Shelby spent the 2006 season as a defensive assistant at Oklahoma. In 2007 he served as a graduate assistant at the University of Arizona.
A defensive back for the Sooners, Shelby was a four-year letterman from 2001-04. He was a two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection and also earned Associated Press All-Big 12 honors.
Originally from Kansas City, Shelby was recruited as a two-way player and redshirted at running back his first year.
