Helton, Clay's younger brother, was the offensive coordinator at Western Kentucky from 2014-15 and will be the running backs coach and pass game coordinator with the Trojans. Callaway was also at Western Kentucky and had been the team's offensive line coach from 2013-15. He will have the same position at USC.
"We are very excited to welcome Tyson and Neil to the Trojan Family," said Clay Helton in a statement. "Their experience and knowledge will be a huge benefit to our players as well as our football program. Both have been highly successful coordinators and we look forward to the fresh energy and ideas they will bring. I have watched them produce a pair of Top 10 offenses that averaged more than 44 points a game each of the past 2 years. We look forward to them helping bring the same explosiveness to our offense at USC."
The Hilltoppers ranked third in the country in scoring in 2015 (44.3), fourth in passing yards (372.2) and ninth in total yards (526.4) in 2015 en route to a 12-2 season.
