The former Georgia high school coach spent just one season with the Buckeyes under Larry Johnson.
According to a report from The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Ohio State defensive quality control coach Miguel Patrick is expected to be named the new defensive line coach at UAB.
Patrick, who previously coached at the high school level in Georgia before joining the Buckeyes this offseason, spent the the spring and fall learning under legendary defensive line coach Larry Johnson.
He becomes the second member of the Ohio State football program to be poached by new Blazers head coach Trent Dilfer, joining program assistant Reilly Jeffers, who will reportedly be their new tight ends coach.
Jeffers spent the last two seasons with the Buckeyes working under running backs coach Tony Alford, but was on Dilfer’s staff at Nashville (Tenn.) Lipscomb Academy prior to that.
This will be the first full-time coaching position at the collegiate level for both Jeffers and Patrick, who notably coached 2023 four-star cornerback commit Kayin Lee at Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove.
