The Fessler Connection

Billy Fessler is no newbie to the Buckeyes! He spent two years (2020-2021) actually coaching quarterbacks as a grad assistant at Ohio State. Then, he worked with QBs again and took his talents to Akron for two years (2022-2023). His skills must have been warming up because Chip Kelly hired him to coach quarterbacks at UCLA! However, fate intervened when Kelly left UCLA, and now Fessler is back in Columbus.

The Role of an Analyst

As a QB analyst, Fessler will be dissecting game film, analyzing plays, and working closely with the Buckeye signal-callers. His insights could prove valuable, with the hiring of Chip Kelly as the new Buckeye offensive coordinator. Kelly’s offensive skills are known, and having Fessler on board adds another expert to the coaching staff.

A Personal Connection

But let’s get personal. Billy Fessler started as a graduate assistant at Ohio State, then went on to coach quarterbacks at Akron and UCLA. Now, he’s circling back to the Horseshoe! It’s been one heck of a journey – with hard work, dedication to the game, and the joy you can only have in college football. Fessler’s story reminds us that it’s good to be a part of something bigger than yourself.

Conclusion

Don’t blink or you might miss Billy Fessler on the sidelines this season! He may not throw touchdowns, but his skills could be the weapon that propels Ohio State into Big Ten title competition.

Stay tuned this summer for players and coaching updates as the season begins. Go Bucks! 🌰
