Former Ohio State Wide Receivers Coach Brian Hartline has bolstered his coaching staff at South Florida by hiring two former Buckeye stars: K.J. Hill and Toby Wilson. This strategic move brings a unique blend of talent and experience to the Bulls' offensive strategy.
K.J. Hill, a record-breaking wide receiver at Ohio State, joins as an offensive analyst. His impressive career included setting the school's career receptions record, amassing 201 catches for 2,332 yards and 20 touchdowns. Hill's time at the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers, where he played two seasons, and his practice squad stint with the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers, showcase his versatility and dedication to the sport.
Toby Wilson, the son of former Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, brings a unique perspective as an assistant offensive line coach. Despite limited playing time, Wilson's four seasons with the Buckeyes, including a senior year with 12 snaps, highlight his commitment to the team's success. Working under the guidance of Mike Sollenne, the offensive line coach at South Florida, Wilson is poised to contribute significantly to the team's offensive strategy.
Both Hill and Wilson are integral parts of a coaching staff led by Tim Beck, a former Ohio State quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer. This cohesive unit aims to bring a new level of depth and strategy to South Florida's offense, drawing on the rich history and success of Ohio State football.
