Ohio State running back coach Tony Alford is among the top recruiters in the country regardless of position when it comes to assistant coaches on the trail. In addition, his development of the position has been more than just solid too. J.K. Dobbins is perhaps the best example, but Alford deserves a ton of credit with other names too.
In his tenure at Ohio State, Alford has brought in elite level running backs for the Buckeyes, and it’s a feat that he looks to continue on until his time in Columbus comes to an end. Alford has been linked to head coaching jobs before, and while he’ll likely be linked to them again in the future, Ohio State is glad to have him on staff for the as long as he’d like to be thanks to all that he brings to the table.
