Ryan Day leaves the key OSU employee tears in the eyes of his attempt to combat a lawsuit via Buyout

Ohio State finally won his national title last year Ryan DayAnd the head coach quickly took a new contract and became the second highest paid coach in University Football. But behind that Natty victory was another steadfast coach, whose contribution should not go unnoticed. After all, he was the man behind increasing walking Quinshon Judkins To a season of 1,000+ meters and the brilliant run match that Ohio State produced last year.

Yes, we are talking about the RBS coach of Ohio State Carlos Locklynwho came from Oregon last year after the former RBS coach Tony Alford went to Michigan from the Buckeyes. His arrival was not only a coup for Ryan Day, but he brought a whole new approach to develop the running backs. The result? It didn’t have to be said because it is well known. But he was the brain behind the performance of Teeveyon Henderson and Judkins. The love for Ryan Day, a resident of Montgomery, Alabama, came out in a recent interview.

‘I knew that nobody, as if I wasn’t coming from this street, I didn’t know anyone. And coach Day comes out? I have to tell you about it. I don’t have a big name like the rest of you in the university coaching. Nobody knew me. So for him to contact me and say, “Hey, look, I want you to come here at Ohio State.” I was blown awayLocklyn said. But his admiration of the state of Ohio does not only come from Ryan Day who extends and makes it comfortable; It also has to do with the type of city that is Columbus and guess? Locklyn loves it much, even more than his Montgomery.

‘I can walk in Columbus and someone says: Coach, can I take a picture? “That threw me away. People know who I am. It is the passion of the fans. I really like life in Columbus, man. It is one of the best cities …There is no place like Columbus, Ohio. No place. There is no place in university football. I am from Alabama. I am the biggest fan of Alabama in the world. It’s not like Columbus,“Locklyn said.

Apart from Quinshon Judkins, Locklyn has also developed players such as James Peoples and Sam Williams-Dixon, who will be crucial for the Buckeyes season. Despite his elite walking space in Osu, the spirit of the Oregon Ducks does not seem to leave him, and it follows him in the form of a lawsuit. It all comes from Oregon’s allegations that Locklyn $ 400,000 owed buy -out to the program.

The process of Carlos Locklyn’s lawsuit is coming up?

Locklyn was at Oregon for the seasons of 2022 and 2023, where he developed players such as Bucky Irving, who then produced 1,593 All-Purph Yards. Moreover, his time also saw Oregon a strong hasty attack in the PAC-12 in 2022 when they had an average of 218.5 hurry per game. Then in 2023 the team rushed for 184.5 yards per match and in third place only behind LSU and Liberty. His abrupt departure, however, came with a lawsuit by Oregon based on the breaking of a contract. But now the RB coach has asked for the dismissal of the lawsuit.

Locklyn’s lawyers ask that the university’s claim for ‘unjust enrichment’ is rejected because there is “An adequate legal remedy” for the claim of contract breach. Oregon requires a price of $ 400,000 for breach of contract, according to the buy -out of Locklyn for leaving Oregon for Ohio State last spring, and the amount due is under discussion.

In particular, the parties had tried to resolve the case and Locklyn even offered to pay $ 200,000 of the alleged buyout money. But Oregon remained adamant and wanted the interest of $ 400,000 plus 9%. However, Locklyn asked the court to reject the lawsuit and to terminate the interpretation of Oregon of the contract to be ‘Inaccurate, invalid and non -fanceable.“
