Ole Miss is expected to hire Western Kentucky’s Keynodo Hudson as cornerbacks coach, sources tell On3.

Hudson previously worked with Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin at USC in 2012 and ’13 as a defensive administrative assistant and as FAU’s cornerbacks coach in 2017 and ’18. He was Illinois’ secondary coach in 2019 and ’20.

At Western Kentucky, Hudson helped the Hilltoppers rank first in Conference USA in interceptions in 2021 and second this past season.

Hudson will be the replacement for Sam Carter, who left Ole Miss for the cornerbacks coach job at Purdue.

The Hudson development comes a week after the Rebels made another secondary hire, adding Maryland’s Wes Neighbors as their new safeties coach.
