McGrath’s new role with the Buckeyes remains unspecified, but he is listed in Ohio State’s directory as a football program assistant, though he will not be one of the Buckeyes’ 10 full-time assistant coaches.
McGrath previously worked with Knowles from 2015-17, when Knowles was the defensive coordinator at Duke and McGrath was a graduate assistant. He was promoted to defensive quality control coach in 2018 and spent three years in that role before he was promoted to linebackers coach in 2021, but was not retained by new Duke head coach Mike Elko.
