COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ryan Day has found his next running backs coach at Ohio State. The Buckeyes announced Monday that they've hired Oregon's Carlos Locklyn to be in charge of the backfield, replacing Tony Alford, who left for the same position at Michigan.
Locklyn, a Mongomery, Alabama-native, spent two seasons with the Ducks under the direction of Dan Lanning. Prior to working in Eugene, Oregon, Locklyn was the running backs coach at Western Kentucky and also worked as a staff member at Memphis and Florida State.
At Ohio State, Locklyn will hit the ground running, managing a deep and talented room headlined by TreVeyon Henderson, who rushed for 926 yards and 11 touchdowns in ten games last season and Ole Miss transfer Quinshon Judkins.
The Buckeyes have less than two weeks left in their spring practice schedule, culminating with the spring game at Ohio Stadium on April 13 at noon.
