RENO, Nev. – Second-year Nevada football coach Jay Norvell bolstered the Wolf Pack coaching staff with the addition of veteran coaches Angus McClure and David Lockwood, the program announced Tuesday.

McClure, a Sacramento native who coached tight ends at Nevada in the 1990s, returns to Reno after more than a decade as an assistant coach and top recruiter at UCLA. He has a familiarity with Norvell as the pair worked together at Nebraska and UCLA. McClure will serve as Nevada's assistant head coach and offensive line coach.

Lockwood, a former Big Ten defensive coordinator who spent eight seasons working with current Pack DC Jeff Casteel at West Virginia and Arizona, joins the staff as Nevada's safeties coach.

"I think we made our staff stronger with these two veteran hires," Norvell said. "I'm excited about the experience and expertise that we have added to the Wolf Pack coaching staff."

McClure began his tenure with the Bruins on the defensive side before moving over to coach the tight ends and lead recruiting efforts, and was named one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation in recent years by Rivals.com. He has more than 20 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level with the last 11 at UCLA.

His coaching career began at McClatchy High School in Sacramento before he came to Nevada in 1996 to coach tight ends for the Wolf Pack on Nevada's Big West championship team that season. He then moved to the staff of his alma mater, Sacramento State, where he was assistant head coach and offensive line coach from 1997-2003.

McClure coached at Nebraska from 2004-05, where he worked with Norvell on Bill Callahan's staff.  He was the offensive line coach and run-game coordinator at Buffalo in 2006 before moving back to the West Coast to work at UCLA.

"Angus is a veteran coach who brings a wide variety of skills to the program," Norvell said. "He has coached on both sides of the ball and he has extensive experience as a West Coast recruiter. I have worked with him at both Nebraska and UCLA and we are familiar with the game on many levels. He will coach the Union and, as the program's assistant head coach, he will handle administrative duties for me with the program."

A graduate of Sacramento State, McClure played football for the Hornets from 1987-91 and later served as a member of the faculty from 1997-2004. He was on the 1988 Hornet team that advanced to the NCAA Division II championship semifinals with an offense that averaged 486.0 yards per game. McClure and his wife Erin have two sons, Hamish and Malcolm.

Lockwood coached at UNLV in 2017 after spending the previous four seasons coaching cornerbacks at Arizona, where Casteel ran the 3-3 stack defense that he employs now with the Wolf Pack. He also worked with Casteel previously at West Virginia.

Lockwood was a three-year starter at cornerback at West Virginia and played in the 1989 national championship game at the Fiesta Bowl. After a year as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, he coached offense for four seasons at Delaware and one at James Madison before moving back to the defensive side of the ball, coaching defensive backs at Memphis from 1995-99.

Lockwood worked at Wyoming, West Virginia and Notre Dame before a four-season stint at Minnesota, where he was the defensive coordinator for the Golden Gophers for the final two seasons.

"David is a veteran defensive coach who has coordinator history and has extensive experience with the 3-3 stack," Norvell said. "He has worked with Jeff Casteel both at West Virginia and Arizona. I also competed against him when he coached at West Virginia. He's an excellent fit for our program."

In 2008, Lockwood returned to his alma mater, where he coached cornerbacks for Casteel's defense with the Mountaineers for four seasons. Casteel and Lockwood both went to Arizona to re-join Rich Rodriguez's staff in 2012.

Lockwood, a Pennsylvania native, and his wife, Heidi, have three children: Autumn, David Jr. and Jeffrey.

Nevada will open spring practice in March with the annual Silver and Blue Spring Game set for April 28 at Mackay Stadium.

The Wolf Pack will play host to the best home schedule in school history in 2018 with the Pac-12's Oregon State coming to Mackay Stadium along with Portland State in the non-conference. Mountain West home games will be against four bowl teams from 2017 in Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State. The complete MW schedule should be available soon.
