Just over a month after joining defensive coordinator Ted Roof's staff at Central Florida as defensive backs coach, Derrick Ansley is moving to Knoxville.

Ansley, 30, spent two seasons as a graduate assistant in the secondary at Alabama.

Ansley will be working with new defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri. The two coached together in Tuscaloosa.
