Westmoreland joins Chattanooga Baylor

Eric Westmoreland, a former University of Tennessee linebacker, will join the Red Raiders’ coaching staff this fall.

"I’ve been interested in Baylor because it’s a high-profile school with a lot of notoriety throughout the state," Westmoreland said in a press release. "Their football program has been highly recommended by a lot of people."

The 29-year-old will live on campus and serve as a dorm parent, part of the school’s residential life program.

Westmoreland starred at Marion County High before helping lead the Vols to a national championship in 1998.

He was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2001 and played with Cleveland in 2004 before leaving the NFL in 2005.
