Youngstown State defensive coordinator Jahmal Brown is heading to Mercer for a similar role.

Football Scoop was the first to report the pending departure.

Brown was the Penguins defensive coordinator for three seasons and, prior to that, spent time at Saginaw Valley and Notre Dame College.

He'll reunite with Bears head coach Mike Jacobs, as the two previously worked together at Lenoir-Rhyne, a Division II program.
