According to documents obtained by The Columbus Dispatch's Joey Kaufman, the new Ohio State wide receivers coach is set to make $900,000 in 2026 and $1 million in 2027.

Compared to Ohio State's 2025 assistant coach salaries, Hankton's $900,000 salary exceeds those of quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler, linebackers coach James Laurinaitis, running backs coach Carlos Locklyn, and tight ends coach Keenan Bailey. It matches last year’s salaries of safeties coach Matt Guerrieri and offensive line coach Tyler Bowen, though their salaries are set to increase to $1 million in 2026, per the terms of their contracts from last year.
