COLUMBUS, OH – A former football captain at Ohio State University is trading in his playing cleats for a coaching whistle, as he joins the coaching staff of a Big Ten rival.

 

According to multiple sources, former Ohio State linebacker and captain, Zach Boren, has been hired as the new linebackers coach at the University of Michigan. Boren, who played for the Buckeyes from 2009 to 2012, will be joining the Wolverines’ coaching staff under head coach Jim Harbaugh.

 

“We are thrilled to welcome Zach Boren to our coaching staff,” said Harbaugh. “Zach is a talented young coach who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program. He is a great fit for our team, and we are excited to have him on board.”

 

Boren, who was a three-year starter and two-time captain for the Buckeyes, has been coaching in the college ranks for several years. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Ohio State, before moving on to become the linebackers coach at Bowling Green State University.

 

“I’m honored to be joining the coaching staff at the University of Michigan,” said Boren. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me to work with a talented group of players and to be a part of a program with such a rich tradition of excellence. I’m excited to get to work and to help the Wolverines compete for a Big Ten championship.”

 

Boren’s hiring is a significant coup for the Wolverines, who are looking to bolster their defensive coaching staff. With Boren on board, Michigan will have a coach who is not only familiar with the Big Ten, but also has a deep understanding of the rivalries and nuances of the conference.

 

“Zach is a great addition to our staff,” said Michigan defensive coordinator, Don Brown. “He’s a smart, energetic coach who will bring a lot of enthusiasm and expertise to our linebackers. We’re excited to have him on board and to see the impact he’ll make on our team.”

 

As Boren prepares to join the Wolverines’ coaching staff, he does so with the blessing of his former coaches and teammates at Ohio State. Despite the fact that he will be coaching for a rival program, Boren’s former colleagues are excited to see him succeed in his coaching career.

 

“Zach is a tremendous young coach who has a bright future ahead of him,” said Ohio State head coach, Ryan Day. “We’re thrilled to see him get this opportunity at Michigan, and we’re confident that he’ll do a great job. He’s a Buckeye at heart, but we’re also happy to see him succeed in his coaching career.”

 

As the college football world continues to buzz with excitement over Boren’s hiring, the Wolverines are already looking to the future and the possibilities that lie ahead. With Boren on board, Michigan will have a coach who is not only familiar with the Big Ten, but also has a deep understanding of the rivalries and nuances of the conference.

 

“We’re excited to have Zach on board and to see the impact he’ll make on our team,” said Harbaugh. “He’s a talented young coach who brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our program. We’re confident that he’ll help us compete for a Big Ten championship and beyond.”

 

As the Wolverines prepare for the upcoming season, they will do so with a renewed sense of optimism and excitement. With Boren on board, Michigan will have a coach who is not only familiar with the Big Ten, but also has a deep understanding of the rivalries and nuances of the conference. The college football world will be watching with bated breath as the Wolverines take the field this season, and with Boren leading the way, the possibilities are endless.
