The youngest head coach in college football hails from Arkansas and has already been the subject of a feature story in The Athletic that was picked up and printed in the New York Times.
After one season at Fairmont State, the athletic director at East Central University in Ada, Okla., approached him about being the special teams coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Following the 2021 season, Wisconsin hired ECU’s head coach as its running backs coach, and East Central brass gave McCullough the keys to the program. At 26, he was the youngest head coach in college football.
With Arkansas looking for an offensive coordinator, McCullough said that Hunter Yurachek should be looking for someone that can light up the scoreboard, referencing the Kevin Kelley tweet that recently made the rounds.
