Ohio State football head coach Ryan Day continues to solidify his coaching staff as we continue through the offseason. At a place like OSU, it’s almost a yearly effort to massage the coaching staff, and that’s certainly been the case this year with a change in offensive coordinator and the addition of a wide receiver coach, both to replace the outgoing Brian Hartline.

The latest addition comes on the offensive side of the ball with the hiring of Samford quarterbacks coach Thomas Morton as an assistant tight ends coach. He replaces the former tight ends assistant Wendy Laurent, who left the Buckeyes to become the tight ends assistant coach at Old Dominion.

Prior to his post at Samford in 2025, Morton spent time at Auburn as an analyst in 2021, 2022, and 2024, with time as a graduate assistant at Troy in 2023 in between. He played quarterback for Southern Miss in 2019 and 2022, appearing in just one game during his redshirt junior year.

We’ll continue to bring you the happenings and goings on with the football program during the offseason and as we journey towards spring ball.
