With DeWayne Walker reportedly meeting with Washington brass regarding their defensive coordinator position, UCLA may already be trying to line up its next DC with former Bruin great and current USC linebackers coach Ken Norton, Jr.

Norton received a Gatorade bath following USC’s Rose Bowl victories as if it were a send-off from his players and ABC News is reporting that he will be UCLA’s new DC.

A USC source said that there was no official word but USC coach Pete Carroll sarcastically said that he was sure Rick Neuheisel would wait until after the Rose Bowl to talk to Norton about the job.
