Keith Heyward has joined the Washington football coaching staff as defensive backs coach, Husky head coach Steve Sarkisian announced today.

The Dawgs pried him away from the Oregon Ducks and Chip Kelly.

"Keith is a bright, young coach and a terrific recruiter," Sarkisian said. "I think he'll be a great fit with our new defensive staff, in particular Justin Wilcox, our new coordinator."
