As reported here Saturday morning, former Air Force secondary coach Curome Cox has joined Tony Elliott’s Virginia staff.

Cox announced his hiring on his Twitter account: “The BOLT family is nothing short of amazing,” Cox tweeted. “I will miss the players and relationships most. I’m beyond excited for the opportunity to come back home to Virginia. Ready to get to work, impacting the lives of young men. Look forward to meeting Wahoo Nation.”

Cox, who played at Maryland before embarking on a three-year NFL career, wrote on his Twitter account that he will coach defensive backs and serve as passing game coordinator.

At UVA, Cox will reunite with new Cavaliers’ defensive coordinator John Rudzinski, who served in the same capacity at Air Force.
