According to FOX Sports’ Bruce Feldman, Ohio State Buckeyes head football coach Ryan Day has added another name to his staff as he has reportedly set to hire former Michigan, Florida, and Maryland assistant coach Matt Barnes. He has most recently served as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at the University of Maryland, one of a number of positions in which he has worked with and for former Terrapin head coach D.J. Durkin.
From 2012-14, Barnes served as a defensive and special teams graduate assistant at the University of Florida, before following Durkin to Michigan, where he was the then-defensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh.
