UCLA is expected to hire Baltimore Ravens safeties coach D’Anton Lynn as defensive coordinator, sources tell On3.

Lynn, a former Penn State star DB and the son of ex-Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn, worked in Baltimore the last two years.

Before the Ravens, Lynn worked for the Houston Texans, Chargers and Buffalo Bills.

As a player at Penn State, Lynn was a three-time honorable mention All-Big Ten selection as a cornerback, including as a senior in 2011 when he helped the Nittany Lions rank No. 5 nationally in scoring defense.

UCLA finished last season, its fifth year with Chip Kelly as its head coach, with a 9-4 record.
