Secondary coach Jeff Hafley uses NFL experience and a calm demeanor in all areas of his role in the Ohio State coaching staff. That includes on the recruiting trail.
When Ohio State safety Jordan Fuller was in eighth grade, his brother Devin was being recruited as an athlete by Rutgers, whose secondary coach that year was Jeff Hafley. Fuller still remembers the in-home visit Hafley made to the Fuller house.
Now, eight years later, Hafley has weaved his way to Columbus, where he took over the secondary coaching position in January. He's made a big impact on the 2020 recruiting class in the six months since his arrival.
