Muschamp originally hired the 14-year NFL veteran and former Florida standout as an undergraduate student assistant in 2013.

"You talk to anybody who coached Mike, we all talk about he was a coach on the field and he obviously was a really good player," Muschamp said then, according to TampaBay.com. "But he was a guy that had a cerebral approach to the game and understanding why we did things, not just how to do it, but why. He has been great for our players."

In 2014, Muschamp added Peterson to his full-time staff in Gainesville as a strength and conditioning assistant.

Peterson was a second round draft pick of the Colts in 1999 following a first-team All-SEC campaign with the Gators in 1998.

Peterson collected 951 career tackles, 21.5 sacks and 19 interceptions in 196 games with the Falcons, Jaguars and Colts.

The 39-year-old Peterson was born in Gainesville, Fla. and played for former South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier.
