Ohio State running backs Quinshon Judkins, Dallan Hayden and TC Caffey expressed excitement about the hiring of Carlos Locklyn following his first day at practice.
After getting the opportunity to give their feedback during Ohio State’s search for a new running backs coach, the Buckeyes’ running backs are happy with the end result.
Locklyn just arrived at Ohio State for his first practice on Wednesday, so the Buckeyes’ running backs are still getting to know him. Locklyn was more of an observer than a coach during Wednesday’s practice as he got acclimated to Ohio State and learned how the Buckeyes’ coaching staff operates.That said, he made a positive first impression on the three Ohio State running backs who met with the media after Wednesday’s practice.
While Judkins didn’t end up going to Florida State, starting his college career at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State this offseason, he’s excited to be coached by Locklyn now. “He's a real good guy,” Caffey said. “And I'm really just excited to learn from him and see things that he's gonna instill on us.”
“Coach Alford was a big part of why I came to Ohio State, so to see him leave was sad,” Hayden said. “But you know, he has a family to take care of. So I completely understood.”
