It looks like the Missouri Tigers picked up an assistant coach Friday night.
UNC staff member Jonathan Rutledge tweeted that he’s excited about coming back to the SEC at Missouri and joining Barry Odom’s staff.

Rutledge joined UNC’s staff in 2014 as the special teams graduate assistant coach, and in 2012 through 2013, he worked as a tight ends and special teams graduate assistant at Memphis under Odom. Rutledge is an Ole Miss grad.
His Twitter bio indicates that he’ll be working with the special teams and wide receivers at Mizzou.
Here’s an update from St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Dave Matter:
Rutledge won't be one of Missouri's 9 assistants who can recruit on road. Likely an analyst. Will work with WRs too, per bio.
