As the coaching carousel continues, former Oklahoma offensive lineman and offensive analyst Phil Loadholt is reuniting with Jeff Lebby at Mississippi State, according to a report from Steve Robertson and Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.

Loadholt spent time with Lebby at UCF and Ole Miss before joining the Oklahoma Sooners staff as an analyst for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. After Lebby took the Mississippi State head coaching job, Loadholt joined Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes as their offensive line coach for 2024.

Now, Loadholt will be back in the SEC, trying to help the Mississippi State Bulldogs out of the SEC cellar after a 2-10 season in Lebby’s first year in Starkville.

Loadholt was a part of the Oklahoma Sooners electric 2008 offense that led the nation in scoring and helped Sam Bradford win the Heisman Trophy. He was a second-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2009 and spent seven seasons in the NFL before joining Lebby as an offensive assistant at UCF in 2018.
