Rutgers is targeting South Dakota head coach Travis Johansen as the school’s next defensive coordinator under Greg Schiano, according to a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel.
The veteran defensive coordinator led a top-five unit in the FCS as the South Dakota defensive coordinator in 2024, before being promoted to head coach last season. As head coach of the Coyotes, Johansen led the program to the FCS quarterfinals in ‘25. The school finished No. 11 nationally in the final FCS rankings.
