Texas Longhorns Hire Ohio State's LaAllan Clark as Outside Linebackers Coach

Texas Longhorns football coach Steve Sarkisian has hired LaAllan Clark, a former graduate assistant at Ohio State, as the new outside linebackers coach. Clark, who previously coached defensive ends at Southern University, has gained recognition for his work training NFL defensive linemen including Ed Oliver and Jeffrey Simmons. He played college football at Grambling State and Northwestern State and began his coaching career at Prairie View A&M. Clark's hiring is part of a broader trend at Ohio State, which has seen multiple staff departures this offseason, including offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. He will be tasked with developing a talented group of linebackers at Texas, including rising stars like Trey Moore and Ethan Burke. Clark's move to Texas coincides with the transfer of Ohio State defensive tackle Hero Kanu to the Longhorns.
