Robert Gillespie, Deland McCullough, Stan Drayton and Scottie Graham are among the potential candidates to replace Tony Alford as Ohio State’s next running backs coach.
in a sudden turn, the Buckeyes will try to quickly fill the hole left in their offensive staff to lead what should be the nation's best running back tandem in TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
This would be one of the bigger swings Ryan Day could take in trying to fill Alford's shoes. Having already plucked center Seth McLaughlin and safety Caleb Downs from Alabama in the transfer portal, the Crimson Tide's three-year running backs coach could be another target of theft from the program Nick Saban just left.
Day likely already has a relationship here given that McCullough's son, Dasan McCullough, originally committed to Ohio State before ultimately signing to play with his brother at Indiana in the class of 2022. His time there has been tumultuous. Drayton's gone 3-9 in each of his first two campaigns and is likely feeling his seat heat up entering 2024.
Arizona State’s associate athletic director from 2014 through 2020, Graham landed his first coaching job as Arizona's running backs coach in 2021. In three seasons he enticed composite four-star Rayshon Luke to sign with the Wildcats in 2022, then followed that up by landing four-star Jordan Washington in 2024.
