Overview
- On3’s Pete Nakos reports that Tulsa associate head coach and running backs coach Kam Martin is expected to join Florida State as running backs coach.
- The reported move follows FootballScoop’s account that Auburn’s Alex Golesh was pursuing Martin, with Florida State having offered and Tulsa attempting to retain him.
- Neither Florida State nor Tulsa has issued an official announcement confirming the hire.
- Martin previously coached running backs at UCF under Malzahn in 2023 and 2024, with earlier stops at Incarnate Word and Texas State, and he has produced a 1,000-yard rusher each year as a position coach.
- An Auburn alumnus from 2016–2019, Martin had been linked to Golesh’s first Auburn staff, which currently stands at seven assistants and includes former Tiger Kodi Burns.
