The Texas Longhorns have found their replacement for running backs coach Tashard Choice with head coach Steve Sarkisian hiring West Virginia Mountaineers running backs coach Chad Scott for the same role on the Forty Acres.
Interest in Scott was first reported earlier on Wednesday by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports and the expectation that the Longhorns would hire Scott broke several hours later with near-simultaneous reports from a number of outlets. Chip Brown of Horns247 reported that the team was informed of the news around 7:30 p.m. Central.
A Florida native, Scott played at Kentucky and North Carolina before stints in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.
