Oregon State is set to hire Alabama co-offensive coordinator JaMarcus Shephard as its next head football coach, reports ESPN.
According to the report, Shephard will receive a five-year deal.
The 42-year-old Shephard is currently Alabama’s wide receivers coach and assistant head coach under Kalen DeBoer. Shephard was also on DeBoer’s staff at Washington, serving as the assistant head coach, passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach.
This season, Alabama is averaging 33.8 points, ranking sixth in the Southeastern Conference, with its strength being its passing attack led by quarterback Ty Simpson (2,934 yards, 22 TD, 4 INT).
Shephard replaces Trent Bray, who was fired last month after the Beavers started this season with seven straight losses and posted a 5-14 record in his two seasons at the school. Shephard has also coached at Western Kentucky, Washington State and Purdue.
Oregon State (2-9) finishes its 2025 season on Saturday with a road game at Washington State.
