Georgia Tech is expected to hire Michigan State’s Marco Coleman as a defensive line coach, sources tell On3.

As a player at Georgia Tech, Coleman posted 27.5 career sacks in three seasons before heading to the NFL. That total ranks fourth in school history.

He went No. 12 overall in the first round of the 1992 NFL draft to the Miami Dolphins and ended up playing 14 seasons in the NFL with the Dolphins, San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.

He finished his NFL career with 520 career tackles and 65.5 career sacks.
