Western Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart is joining Dino Babers' at Syracuse according to SI.com.

Hart, a Syracuse, New York native himself, spent two seasons as the running backs coach for Western Michigan, and in that time the Broncos produced back to back MAC Freshman of the Year at the running back position, including Jarvion Franklin who also won the MAC Player of the Year in his first season. The Bronco rushing attack in 2015 was one of the best in the conference, boasting over 200 yards per game between a trio of backs including Franklin, Jamauri Bogan and LeVante Bellamy.
