Alabama offensive coordinator Michael Locksley has won the 2018 Frank Broyles Award as the most outstanding assistant coach in college football.
Locksley was presented the award during a luncheon at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Little Rock on Tuesday. Other finalists were Army defensive coordinator Jay Bateman, Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott, Mississippi State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop and Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long.
In his first season as Alabama’s only offensive coordinator, Locksley has led the Crimson Tide to top 10 rankings in total offense, scoring offense, passing offense and third-down offense. Alabama has three offensive players who are finalists for national position awards - quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award), receiver Jerry Jeudy (Biletnikoff Trophy) and offensive lineman Jonah Williams (Outland Trophy).
