Clark Atlanta University today named Kevin Weston as its new head football coach. Weston comes to Atlanta from Tusculum College in Tennessee, where he served as a position coach and defensive coordinator over his eight years at the school.

“In Weston,” CAU President Carlton E. Brown said, “we have identified an individual who knows the game inside and out, has proven his ability to build and grow successful teams, promote values education and insist  upon personal and character development in his players.  All of these qualities align not only with the mission of Clark Atlanta, but create the kind of foundation necessary to ensure a focused, aggressive turn-around in our football program.”

Weston is a Tusculum graduate, and begins his tenure at CAU effective today.
