Kentucky has reportedly added a longtime Big Ten assistant as Will Stein continues to build out his initial staff in Lexington.
Tony Washington Jr. will be the program’s new defensive ends and outside linebackers coach, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Washington is currently an assistant on the staff of Ryan Day at Ohio State, where he works with the team’s defensive line.
Prior to his time at Ohio State, Washington was at UCLA for a single season. There, he was a DL and OLB assistant coach on DeShaun Foster’s staff. Before that, he was at Nebraska and Oregon.
While at Oregon, Washington served as the Ducks’ OLB coach. There, he worked with Stein while the latter was the team’s offensive coordinator. Now, the two are set to reunite at Kentucky.
