The college football coaching carousel continues to spin a bit. On Tuesday, former UCLA tight end Caleb Wilson joined Washington’s staff as a quality control coach, per Bruce Feldman of The Athletic.
Wilson was previously at Purdue but spent time playing for Fisch at UCLA when both of them were there.
Wilson was the final pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals but had a short career, spending time with the Washington Redskins and the Washington Football Team, Philadelphia Eagles, and Denver Broncos as well.
The Bruins had been rumored to potentially bringing Wilson to the UCLA stuff but now he is headed to Washington in the new-look Big Ten Conference.
SOURCE: Purdue staffer Caleb Wilson, a former standout tight end at UCLA, is expected to join the Washington staff as a quality control coach. The 27-year-old Wilson, the son of NFL and college assistant Chris Wilson, played for UDub coach Jedd Fisch when both were at UCLA.

After Jedd Fisch left Arizona for Washington in a domino effect following Kalen DeBoer’s departure to Alabama, he has put together a new-look staff with the Huskies, and Wilson is the latest piece of the puzzle.
