Austin Peay football is searching for a new coach after Scotty Walden was hired by UTEP.
Walden went 26-14 during his four seasons in Clarksville and led the Governors to a United Athletic Conference championship and the program's second-ever FCS playoff appearance in 2023.
Here's a look at 10 candidates who could be a potential fit to succeed Walden at APSU:
J.J. Clark
If APSU looks to stay in-house, Clark, the Govs' defensive coordinator and safeties coach, might be the most likely candidate — though Walden could look to bring him with him to UTEP. Clark led a unit that gave up the third-fewest points in the United Athletic Conference this season. He was recently named to the American Football Coaches Association's annual 35 under 35 list.
Akeem Davis
The 33-year-old Davis was Austin Peay's co-defensive coordinator in 2021 and 2022 before moving to UNLV to coach cornerbacks. This season, the Rebels were second in the Mountain West with 14 interceptions. A former Memphis safety who spent three years in the NFL, Davis coached with Walden at Southern Miss from 2017-20
