Arizona set to hire former SJSU running back coach Alonzo Carter

Arizona has added former San Jose State running backs coach Alonzo Carter as it next running backs coach, according to footballscoop.com

Carter will replace former running backs coach Scottie Graham, who announced on Monday that he is joining former UA head coach Jedd Fisch at Washington.

Spending seven seasons as the SJSU running backs coach, Carter most recently helped the Spartans become the 31st best rushing offense in the country this past season.

Along with being an efficient running backs coach, Carter has a lot of ties in the west coast, especially California, as a high school football head coach for nine years at McClymonds and Berkeley high, which could help the Wildcats maintain California in their recruiting trail.

Over the years, Carter has trained running backs Marshawn Lynch and Jayvid Best, who had illustrious careers at Cal.
