Ex-NFL player joins staff of Jackson State

JACKSON, Mississippi  -- Another former NFL player expects to join Jackson State’s coaching staff.

Paul Spicer, who spent a majority of his playing career with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2000-09, is expected to be named the Tigers defensive line coach. Former Southern Methodist lineman Tommy Poynter is also expected to join the staff, likely as the offensive line coach. A university source confirmed the hires Friday to The Clarion-Ledger.

Spicer would work alongside head coach Harold Jackson and defensive coordinator Derrick Burroughs, both whom played in the NFL.

Spicer, who played defensive end, officially retired from the NFL in 2011 and served as an assistant defensive line coach for the Jaguars in 2012.
