This is a perfect hire for the Tribe! London brings experience and worked with Laycock as an assistant for 3 years so knows the schools academic demands. His first year at Howard in 2017 had him turn around a 2-9 program to 7-4 and huge upset of UNLV that was favored to win by 45 points that year.

London calls this move "returning home" as he grew up within 30 miles of the school and met his wife in Williamsburg. Brings good recruiting ties and new energy to the program while maintaining the motto of Coach Laycock of "Doing it the RIGHT WAY".
