The Nebraska Cornhuskers are hiring Kansas City Chiefs assistant defensive line coach Terry Bradden as the program’s next defensive line coach.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the hiring by the Huskers. Bradden will leave the Chiefs after spending the last eight years with the organization including the last four being spent with the defensive line.
A native of Daytona Beach, Florida, Howard was a collegiate quarterback at both Howard University and Tuskegee University before entering the coaching rankings one year later at FAU. He would then move to Inlet Grove High School to be their athletic director and head football coach, the youngest head coach in the state at the time at just 24.
In 2016, Bradden returned to college football as a graduate assistant at Bethune Cookman University and earned a AFCA Top 30 Under 30 nod that year.
One year later, he would move to the NFL level with the Kansas City Chiefs and spent time over his tenure in Kansas City with the defensive line and defensive backs amongst other duties.
Notably, it is expected that Bradden will join the Cornhuskers officially after the Kansas City Chiefs finish their 2024-25 season which could go as late as February 9, 2025, if the Chiefs were to make it to the Super Bowl once again.
