Bradley Dale Peveto has been named LSU special teams coordinator and defensive assistant, according to a statement released by the school on Thursday. News of Peveto’s return to the Tigers broke last week, but the official announcement was delayed until Thursday.
Peveto returns to LSU after a one-year stint with Kentucky, where he was special teams coordinator and safeties coach. Prior to his arrival at Kentucky, Peveto was the head coach at Northwestern State.
Peveto was the Tigers’ special teams coordinator from 2005 to 2007. He was part of LSU’s run to the national championship in 2007, and he helped produce two First-Team All-Southeastern Conference performers that same year: placekicker Colt David and punter Patrick Fisher.
During this span, he also served as linebackers coach, where he helped develop All-American Ali Highsmith. In 2008, he was promoted to co-defensive coordinator, a position he held for one year before being named Northwestern State’s head coach.
