According to Justin Hopkins of On3’s Scoop Duck, Oregon is set to lose running backs coach Carlos Locklyn to Ohio State. Locklyn is making the move inside of the Big Ten after coaching in Eugene for two seasons. A major move for head coach Ryan Day in the midst of spring practice.

Ohio State took a huge blow at running backs coach itself, watching Tony Alford leave in favor of the much-hate Michigan Wolverines. Making a quick hire was almost required for the Buckeyes as spring ball is underway and they are expected to have one of the best RB duos in the country.

TreVeyon Henderson is returning for the 2024 season and will partner up with Quinshon Judkins after he transferred in from Ole Miss. Already having three years of experience against Big Ten opponents, Henderson has rushed for 2,745 yards in his career. Judkins comes over to the SEC after going over 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons.

Locklyn will inherit a great group that is expected to put up monster numbers for Ohio State this year.
