Former Washington State wide receivers coach Joel Filani is expected to accept the vacant wide receivers coach position at Northern Arizona, according to On3 Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Filani had been at Washington State for just 1 season, but had several assistant jobs before starting with the Cougars. He was on Washington State’s staff in 2015, also making stops at Boise State, North Texas and Texas Tech.

Filani also played at Texas Tech during his playing days, doing well enough to get drafted in the 6th round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans.

Washington State named Nick Edwards the new wide receiver coach on Jan 24.
