Gators staff member Beyah Rasool accepts NFL job
One of the Florida Gators‘ staff members in the secondary, Beyah Rasool, has accepted a job with the Las Vegas Raiders as a defensive assistant, a source confirmed to Gators Online on Friday.
Although he held an off-field role as an analyst, Rasool made a strong impact on Florida’s cornerbacks during the 2024 season. The Gators’ defense recorded just three interceptions in 2023, but Rasool and secondary Will Harris helped improve that total by 11 this past season. UF also improved from No. 125 to No. 61 nationally in passing yards allowed per attempt against FBS programs.
Prior to joining the Gators, Rasool was cornerbacks coach and a special teams assistant at Bowling Green. He was only with the Falcons for one season, but BGSU saw improvements all across the board.
The Falcons finished the year No. 4 in the nation with 17 interceptions and led the nation in takeaways (28). BGSU’s starting cornerbacks Jordan Oladokun and Jalen Huskey both finished the year tied for No. 19 in the nation with four interceptions. The Gators finished the 2023 season ranked last in the country with just three interceptions forced.
Huskey was a first-team All-MAC performer and Oladokun earned second-team honors. Davon Ferguson earned third-team All-MAC accolades. The BGSU defense in 2023 finished No. 25 in the nation in total defense (326.1) and No. 12 in the nation in passing yards allowed (179.8).
