Former Tulsa Golden Hurricane standout defensive back, Nick Graham, comes to McNeese to coach DBs after spending the last three years as an assistant coach at Central Oklahoma.
While at UCO, he mentored four all-conference selections including 2018 All-American DB O'Shay Harris.
Graham arrived to UCO after three years as an assistant at Tulsa where he served as a student assistant in 2013 before spending the 2014 and 2015 seasons as defensive analyst.
Graham was a prep standout at Millwood High School in Oklahoma City before going on to a stellar four-year career at Tulsa where he was a two-time, second-team All-Conference USA selection. A starter in 30 of 50 games played with the Golden Hurricane, Graham ended his career with 180 tackles, 20 pass break-ups, seven interceptions, 8.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
Following Tulsa, Graham played six years of professional football, the first three in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts. He was out of football for a year before returning to play three years in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-cats.
He retired from playing in 2013 and returned to Tulsa to complete his degree in communications and start his coaching career.
He is married (Candice) and has three children (Jaliyah, Nicholas and Jamison).
