Ohio State’s running back coach Tony Alford has coached running backs for 23 years. He’s been everywhere from Mount Union to Iowa State to Notre Dame. Alford has been with the Buckeyes since 2015. He also played for Colorado State in the late 80s, where Alford was a Doak Walker Award nominee.
If there’s someone who knows a thing or two about running backs, it’s Coach Alford. I spoke to Alford for just under a half-hour, where he provided insight about 49ers running back Trey Sermon that we couldn’t get anywhere else.
