Locklyn was set to make $400k at Oregon. He’s only been a RB coach for really 3yrs, he honestly is getting quite a big pay bump. And he gets to work with the best collection of talent he’s ever gotten to work with. We will see how well he can recruit with the 2025 class, though he has time to make up

I think he might have read it as 2 years for 650k rather then 650k each year.

“LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS,” CARLOS LOCKLYN THRILLED TO BE OHIO STATE’S RUNNING BACKS COACH​

Carlos Locklyn could hardly contain his excitement when he received a text message from Ryan Day last month.

Locklyn immediately showed the text to his wife, who didn’t know at the time who Day was. For the then-Oregon running backs coach, though, the mere fact that Day wanted to talk to him was a thrill.

“I was excited,” Locklyn said. “I was like a kid on Christmas, I'm like, ‘OK, well, I wonder, what does he want?’ It was a pretty exciting text, man, when I called him just to talk to him, I was pretty excited.”

Day, of course, wanted to talk to Locklyn about Ohio State’s running backs coach vacancy after Tony Alford left the Buckeyes for Michigan. After identifying 12 different candidates in what he described Wednesday as a “thorough” search, Day felt Locklyn stood out as the right choice for the position.

“First off, when you hear about Carlos' story, it's captivating. Where he's come from. And then you start to listen to his overall knowledge of the position, his aggressiveness in recruiting, the impact he's had on people, the relationships he's had on people, it was an absolute slam dunk for us,” Day said Wednesday. “He's already, in a short period of time, brought in an edge and a toughness and aggressiveness that I think is going to be excellent.”

“IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE SLAM DUNK FOR US.”– RYAN DAY ON HIRING CARLOS LOCKLYN

Carlos Locklyn confident he can manage Ohio State's running back depth: 'This ain't my first rodeo'​


"Me being a guy that loves the running back position, I already broke those kids down because I recruited them out of high school," Locklyn said during his first media available in the spring. "Q is from where I'm from, Montgomery. I was one of the first guys to offer him. Just watching him, great contact balance, creative runner, great hands. And Tre, I recruited him out of Virginia. Exceptional short-area burst and quickness and things I'm helping them get better. And then I recruited James Peoples out of San Antonio, Texas. I knew what he was gonna be. TC and Sam, those two kids I'm getting to know and I'm going to help them improve their game."

"This ain't my first rodeo," Locklyn said when asked about his approach to handing this many talented running backs. "No. I know a lot of people look and say, 'Well, this guy's only been on the field for three years. Western Kentucky and Oregon.' Just because I didn't have the title of a running back coach while I was in Memphis, I never carried myself that way. I was carrying myself as a running back coach. I approached every day that way."
