Nick Saban has added an ex-NFL linebacker to Alabama’s support staff.

Former Houston Texans linebacker Max Bullough has been hired as a graduate assistant and is already at work in Tuscaloosa.

A three-time All-Big Ten selection at Michigan State, Bullough spent three seasons with the Houston Texans after joining the team as an undrafted free agent in 2014.

Bullough started four games for the Texans and made a combined 55 tackles in 2015 and 2016.

He was a graduate assistant at Cincinnati last season.
