Hartline has served on Ohio State’s coaching staff since 2018 when he became the team’s wide receivers coach. He has continued to coach the team’s wide receivers for the past five seasons, emerging as one of the top position coaches and recruiters in the country in recent years. This offseason, he was promoted to offensive coordinator after the departure of the previous offensive coordinator, Kevin Wilson.
