Football Coaching Staff

Despite losing starting left tackle Tyler Evans to a knee injury during preseason camp in 2012, rapidly groomed former high school quarterback Lane Johnson into a Second-Team All-Big 12 selection.

Johnson's evolution under Kittle was truly remarkable. After working at both tight end and defensive end in 2010, he developed into a highly-touted NFL prospect in two seasons under Kittle's tutelage.

Also coached tackle Daryl Williams, who was an Honorable Mention All-Big 12 pick, while Trey Millard was selected by AP as a second-team All-Big 12 honoree for his play at tight end.

Helped lead an offensive line that gave up just nine sacks in 2011. Tight end James Hanna earned Second-Team All-Big 12 with 25 receptions for 363 yards and two touchdowns.
