COLUMBUS, Ohio — Zach Smith, the grandson of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, has been hired to be the Buckeyes' wide receivers coach.

The 27-year-old Smith coached receivers and special teams last year at Temple, which won nine games and its first bowl in 32 years.

Smith spent five years as a graduate assistant and quality control assistant for new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer at Florida, during which time the Gators won a pair of national championships.

He also coached at Marshall in 2010. Smith is a Columbus native who graduated from Florida in 2007.
