UCF set to lose new defensive backs coach to NFL

The Knights hired Will Johnson in December to replace Brandon Harris, but Johnson is leaving to take a job with the Minnesota Vikings.

UCF is looking for a new defensive backs coach for the second time in the past three months, after reports emerged on Tuesday that Will Johnson was leaving the program to join the coaching staff with the Minnesota Vikings.
