Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley North four-star athlete Dasan McCullough, one of the top prospects in the 2022 class, has a great mentor in his father and has learned a lot about the game of football from him.

McCullough’s dad, Deland McCullough, joined the Kansas City Chiefs as their new running backs coach in 2018 after spending the 2017 season as Southern Cal’s running backs coach/run game coordinator. Prior to USC, he spent six years at Indiana as the running backs coach.

Deland also played in the NFL for the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles for two seasons (1996-97) after graduating from Miami (Ohio) in 1996 as the all-time leading rusher for the Redhawks and the Mid-American Conference.
