Texas head coach Tom Herman is putting the finishing touches on his staff and things certainly have an Ohio State flavor.
Tim Beck was announced Tuesday as the Longhorns' new offensive coordinator and a report ($) from Horns Digest later in the day states Stan Drayton will also join Herman's staff.

The program later confirmed the hire. Drayton is set to be the associate head coach and run game coordinator for the Longhorns.
Drayton coached wide receivers for the Buckeyes during the 2011 season and then coached running backs from 2012–2014 — where he coached alongside Herman. He spent the last two seasons coaching running backs for the Chicago Bears.
After Drayton left Ohio State, Tony Alford was hired as the Buckeyes' running backs coach.
While in Columbus, Drayton was largely credited with the development of both Carlos Hyde and Ezekiel Elliott.
