Former Muskogee and OU standout Seth Littrell, who played for the Sooners when Arizona coach Mike Stoops was OU’s defensive coordinator, was promoted to co-offensive coordinator with the Wildcats, Stoops told the Arizona Daily Star on Thursday night.
Littrell, 31, served as running backs and tight ends for Arizona last year. Prior to that, he served for four years as running backs coach under another former OU assistant, Mike Leach, at Texas Tech. Before that, he was a graduate assistant under Mark Mangino at Kansas.
“Everywhere Seth has been, they’ve won,” Stoops told the Daily Star. “He brings a winning attitude and a great knowledge and enthusiasm.”
Littrell will serve as co-coordinator with Bill Bedenbaugh. Bedenbaugh came to Arizona in 2007 after serving as an assistant at Texas Tech for five years.
Littrell is a big reason the Wildcats have made a strong recruiting push in the state. He helped Arizona get Owasso’s Trent Spurgeon in this year’s singing class. Midwest City defensive lineman Dominque Jones was committed to the Wildcats for a time as well before signing with Baylor.
Thursday, former Jones quarterback Daxx Garman, who’s now a student at Choctaw, became Arizona’s first commitment for the 2011 class.
