ASU offensive line coach Chris Thomsen leaving for TCU

Chris Thomsen is leaving as Arizona State offensive line coach to return to his alma mater TCU, where he played football and baseball.

Thomsen will join Gary Patterson's staff in an as yet unannounced role. TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham left this week for Kansas, which lost its offensive coordinator Rob Likens to ASU to coach wide receivers.

Thomsen's replacement is expected to be Josh Henson, a former Missouri offensive coordinator who was the offensive analyst at his alma mater, Oklahoma State, in 2016. Henson's hiring will not be official until next week. He coached at Oklahoma State (2001-04), LSU (2005-08) and Missouri (2009-15).
