Terrell Buckley

Position: Assistant Coach / Cornerbacks
Alma Mater: Florida State, 2007

Terrell Buckley, a 14-year veteran of the NFL and Florida State standout, joined the UA staff in January 2012 and will work with the Zips' cornerbacks.

A two-year starter and three-year letterwinner as a cornerback at Florida State (1989-91), Buckley was inducted into the school's sports hall of fame in 2003. He left FSU as the program's all-time leader in interceptions (21) and interception return yards (501). That INT return yardage was an NCAA record, and he tied school records for touchdowns off interceptions (4) and punt returns (3). He earned consensus All-America honors as a junior in 1991 as well as the Jim Thorpe Award that same season, given annually to the nation's top defensive back.

Buckley, 40, was picked fifth in the 1992 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers and spent 14 seasons in the league (1992-2005). He played for Green Bay (1992-94), Miami (1995-99, 2003), Denver (2000), New England (2001-02), the New York Jets (2004) and New York Giants (2005). During his career he amassed 109 tackles, 50 interceptions, two sacks and two forced fumbles.

Most recently, Buckley has served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at FSU, where he completed his undergraduate degree in 2007.
