Tyler Carlton is the new Wide Receivers Coach

Tyler Carlton has been hired by head coach Mark Speir, as the new wide receivers coach, replacing Jaybo Shaw.

"Whereas we had really hoped to retain our entire coaching staff intact from a season ago, it was a great opportunity for Jaybo Shaw to return to Georgia and coach with his dad -- a great former Catamount, Lee Shaw," said Speir. "But we are very excited about what Tyler Carlton will bring to the young men in our program."

"Tyler (Carlton) has a wealth of experience at the Conference USA and ACC-level as both in playing the position and a coach. He's been around some of the best wide receivers in the country -- like former Clemson Tiger, Sammy Watkins -- and having worked with a talented offensive mind in Chad Morris will help make our offense better." Speir added,

Carlton started today with the Catamounts, and will take over the recruiting areas of North Georgia. Prior to Clemson, Carlton was a Student Assistant at Tulsa in 2008 and Quality Control in 2009 & 2010. He was grad assistant at Clemson in 2011 & 2012 and an offensive analyst in 2013 & 2014.

Playing Experience: Punter and wide receiver at Tulsa from 2004-06...member of the 2005 Conference USA champions and Liberty Bowl champions.

Coaching Experience: Student assistant at Tulsa in 2008,09...offensive quality control assistant at Tulsa in 2010.

Education: Earned a degree in exercise sports science from Tulsa in 2009...pursuing a master's degree in human resources at Clemson.

Personal: Born April 4, 1986 in Sapulpa, OK
