A familiar face is returning to the Ohio Northern football family. Former player Josh Colbert has been named an assistant and will coach wide receivers and special teams this fall.

"Obviously I wanted to get back to Ada since I left," Colbert said. "This is the perfect opportunity. This was an opportunity to focus in on one sport. The stars kind of aligned." 

Colbert spent the last three seasons at Mount Union. He was an assistant coach with the track and field team for three seasons and was an assistant football coach for two seasons.
