Toledo hiring former NFL assistant Frank Okam as DL coach

The University of Toledo is hiring Frank Okam as offensive line coach, a source told The Blade.

An official announcement should be made in the coming days.

Okam, a former University of Texas standout on the Longhorns’ 2005 national championship team, was most recently the Las Vegas Raiders defensive line coach. He previously coached at Rice, Baylor, and the Carolina Panthers.

Okam was with head coach Matt Rhule at Baylor and Carolina. He replaces Larry Knight, who left after a few months to take the defensive line coaching job at Temple.

Okam played parts of six seasons in the NFL with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Giants.
