On Tuesday, USC offensive line coach Josh Henson left to become the offensive coordinator at Purdue. It took the Trojans just one day to find his replacement. On Wednesday, head coach Lincoln Riley officially announced that Zach Hanson will be USC’s new offensive line coach. Hanson has spent the past three seasons coaching the Trojans’ tight ends.

Prior to arriving at USC, Henson was the offensive line coach at Tulsa for two seasons. Before that, he worked under Riley as a senior offensive analyst at Oklahoma in 2019.

Hanson played offensive line at Kansas State from 2008 through 2011. He began is coaching career as a graduate assistant with the Wildcats the following year, and has been working his way up the coaching latter since.

Hanson is married to USC executive director of recruiting Annie Hanson.

We will have more reaction to — and analysis of — this promotion by Lincoln Riley, a key development on the USC football coaching staff heading into 2025.
