After losing his top assistant to Boston College earlier this offseason, Mickey Marotti has replaced him with a familiar face.

As pointed out by 247Sports' Garrett Stepien on Saturday, Kenny Parker – who was Rutgers' head strength and conditioning coach for the past four years – is back at Ohio State as assistant director of strength and conditioning. He replaces Phil Matusz, who left with Jeff Hafley to become the head strength and conditioning coach at Boston College.

Parker was previously an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Ohio State from 2012-15 before following Chris Ash to Rutgers in 2016.

The rest of Ohio State's strength and conditioning staff – led by Marotti and also including Chris Fenelon, who also holds the title of assistant director of strength and conditioning coach, as well as assistant strength and conditioning coaches Quinn Barham and Niko Palazeti – is back from 2019.
