LSU is reportedly in the process of hiring Oakland Raiders tight ends coach Adam Henry as its new wide receivers coach.
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette said filling the position is a priority, but said the Athletic Department couldn’t comment on coaching hires without a firm offer or agreement.
“The only thing I can say is that [LSU football coach] Les Miles has been talking to several candidates about the position and expects to have someone in place there soon,” Bonnette said.
A source told The Times-Picayune that Henry had agreed to fill the position.
Henry played wide receiver at McNeese State in the early 1990s. He signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent and made the team’s preseason rosters from 1994 to 1996.
Henry then returned to Lake Charles, where he served as the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator and assistant head coach for 10 seasons.
He spent a total of five seasons in Oakland as a quality control assistant and tight ends coach.
