UCF is expected to hire former Oklahoma State coach Cooper Bassett as the Knights’ new tight ends coach.
CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz was the first to report the move, which was later confirmed by a team source.
Bassett, 35, takes over coaching the tight ends from Steve Cooper, who is the team’s offensive coordinator. The move most likely frees up Cooper to spend more time with the offense as a whole.
The Oklahoma native joins AJ Blazek (offensive line) and Will Johnson (defensive back) as new coaches joining Scott Frost’s staff heading into Year 2.
