Braden Layer is expected to be named the head coach at Allegheny College, sources told FootballScoop on Wednesday.
Layer, 32, becomes one of the youngest head coaches in college football with the move. He spent the 2022 campaign as Dayton's quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.
He re-joins the program after spending 2018 and '19 as Allegheny's offensive coordinator. He left to take the same job at Bowdoin in 2021.
A former quarterback and wide receiver at Denison University, Layer also spent two seasons as co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and wide receivers coach at Sewanee.
Allegheny College is a Division III school located in Meadville, Pa., roughly in between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The Gators compete in the Presidents' Athletic Conference and went 3-7 under head coach Rich Nagy. Nagy took the defensive coordinator job at Lehigh in January.
