Tobby Wilson joined the South Florida football staff in January of 2026 as assistant offensive line coach on Brian Hartline’s first Bulls staff.
Wilson came to USF after a year coaching the offensive line at North Carolina Wesleyan, his first full-time coaching position after graduating from Ohio State where he played four seasons on the Buckeyes’ offensive line.
A former standout student-athlete and emerging coaching talent, Wilson graduated from The Ohio State University in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in sport industry.
A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree who maintained a 3.5 GPA while balancing the rigorous demands of being a student-athlete, he contributed both on the field as a versatile offensive lineman and off the field through various coaching roles within the Ohio State football program.
Wilson’s coaching experience includes serving as an offensive assistant (tight ends) and a strength intern under renowned Buckeye strength coach Mickey Marotti. He also worked extensively as an assistant to the offensive line coach, where he was heavily involved in film breakdown, playbook development, scouting reports, and coaching offensive line camps. His leadership extended to running meetings, teaching installations, and coaching scout teams during the 2024 season.
As a player, Wilson trained across all three interior offensive line positions (left guard, center, right guard) while also filling in at tackle and contributing on special teams. He was a nine-time recipient of the Scout Team Player of the Week and played a key leadership role in preparing Ohio State’s offensive line unit each week.
Wilson’s strengths in coaching, leadership, film analysis, strength and conditioning, and game preparation will play a vital role in the continued development of the Bulls’ offensive front.
He is the youngest son of Kevin Wilson, a longtime collegiate offensive coordinator and Kevin Wilson and former head coach at Indiana and Tulsa.
