Former Alabama football strength coach Scott Cochran continued to fill his West Alabama staff with familiar faces on Thursday. UWA announced former Crimson Tide running back Bo Scarbrough and defensive lineman Damien Square will join Cochran in Livingston.

Another day, another pair of Alabama football champions added to Scott Cochran's coaching staff at West Alabama, bringing the Crimson Tide alumni counter to six.

"Just love, all love," Cochran said. "Come on. I worked for the man 18 years. He is a father figure for me, so I learned everything I have from him."

“We’re thrilled to welcome another Alabama Football legend and NFL Champion, O.J. Howard,” Cochran said in a statement. “O.J. was an outstanding athlete at Alabama, earning a first-round NFL Draft selection, but what truly set him apart was his leadership. He is a leader of men, and that’s exactly why he’s the perfect fit for this role.”

Former Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough has joined the coaching staff of former Crimson Tide assistant Scott Cochran at West Alabama.

The program announced Tuesday that they have hired former Crimson Tide great O.J. Howard to their staff to head up player development for the program.

As he transitions to his first head coaching role at West Alabama, Cochran said the lessons he learned from his transition from Alabama to Georgia still apply.
