Update 1/16/19 -- The details have not yet been finalized on Taylor being added to the Duke coaching staff. He is expected to join the staff, but no deal has been reached.

Duke has added Trooper Taylor as wide receivers' coach, replacing Gerad Parker who left to take over the same position at Penn State.

Football Scoop reported the hire earlier this afternoon, noting that Taylor, currently the Arkansas State assistant head coach / corners, is expected to join David Cutcliffe’s staff coaching receivers. Taylor previously coached receivers at Tulane, Tennessee, Oklahoma State and Auburn. Trooper’s son Blaise is currently a defensive grad assistant at Duke.
