BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 4, 2022 -- Morgan State University associate head coach and defensive run game coordinator William Carr has been announced as one of two HBCU coaches who will be on the Pro Bowl coaching staffs for this weekend's annual showcase game.
Carr will join the AFC coaching staff while Pro Football Hall of Famer and current head coach at Jackson State University Deion Sanders will work with the NFC as the HBCU Legends Coaches. Matt Lefleur and the Packers are coaching the NFC and Mike Vrable and the Titans are coaching the AFC.
Carr coaches the defensive linemen at Morgan State, in addition to his role as associate head coach. He was a standout nose tackle for Michigan during the 1990s, where one of his teammates was Tyrone Wheatley. The seventh-round draft pick from 1999 spent time as a coach at Arizona Western College before joining his alma mater, as well as a brief stint with Morgan State in 2017 before being brought back by Wheatley.
The 2022 Pro Bowl is set to take place on Feb. 6 and will feature former South Carolina State standouts Javon Hargrave (NFC) and Darius Leonard (AFC).
