Stan Drayton's 20th season of coaching, and his second season at Ohio State, will return the former All-American running back to the position he played and is most experienced coaching: running back. Drayton was asked to stay on Ohio State's coaching staff by new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, but that shouldn't surprise anyone: Drayton has now been hired three times by Meyer.

A Cleveland native and a graduate of John Marshall High School, Drayton came to Ohio State from the University of Florida, where he served as the Gators' running backs coach and recruiting coordinator during the 2010 season; he also served as Florida's running backs coach from 2005-07, and held the same position at SEC schools Tennessee (2008) and Mississippi State (2004).

With coaching experience and success at every level, Drayton's resume includes stints as an assistant coach at Syracuse (2009), Bowling Green (2000), Villanova (1996-2000), Penn (1995), Eastern Michigan (1994) and Allegheny (1993). From 2001-03, he served as the offensive quality control and assistant special teams coach for the Green Bay Packers, helping them to three NFC playoff appearances. He is a past nominee for the AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year award, and was recognized by Rivals as one of the nation's top 25 recruiters.

Three times a first-team All-America selection as a running back at Allegheny (Pa.) College, Drayton is Allegheny's all-time leading rusher and scorer and was a part of the 1990 Division III national championship team. He still holds the Division III single-season record for touchdowns scored per game (3.2). Drayton was a two-time All-American in track as well, competing in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. A 1993 graduate with a bachelor's degree in English, Drayton was inducted into the Allegheny College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.

Drayton, who coached Ohio State's wide receivers in 2011, and his wife Monique have two daughters: Amari and Anaya.
