A.J. Ofodile is returning to his old position.
Missouri’s wideouts coach will move to coach tight ends, a position in which he was an all-conference player at MU and in the NFL, according to his Twitter page. A source told The Star that former analyst Garrick McGee will move to coach wideouts for the 2019 season.
Ofodile joined Barry Odom’s staff in 2016 as the director of recruiting and was promoted to wideouts coach before the 2018 season. An all-Big Eight player in the 1990s, Ofodile inherits a talented position group, led by junior Albert Okwuegbunam. The 6-foot-5 junior recently announced that he would pass on the chance to turn professional early and return to MU for another season.
