On Thursday, Oregon Football announced the hire of Kyle Bolton as the new Director of Speed and Performance.

Bolton joins Dan Lanning's staff in Eugene after spending the last two seasons at TCU, serving as the Horned Frogs' assistant director of football human performance. He was on the staff when TCU went to the College Football Playoff in 2022 after going undefeated in the regular season.

"We are thrilled to welcome Kyle Bolton to our program here at Oregon," Dan Lanning said in a press release. "He is well known as one of the very best speed coaches in the game today, and is going to be a tremendous addition to our strength and conditioning staff. Coach Bolton knows how to train student-athletes at a championship level, having been a big part of TCU's run to the national championship in 2022. We are excited about what he brings to our program and can't wait for him to get to Eugene and hit the ground running with our student-athletes."

Bolton is a former college football player himself, playing wide receiver at Baker University, an NAIA school in Baldwin City, Kansas. 

He comes to Eugene following the departure of Jarwarski Beckum, who held the same position at Oregon. Beckum joined Jeff Lebby's strength and conditioning staff at Mississippi State this offseason.

"Oregon is a special place, with a culture synonymous with speed and winning," Bolton said of joining the Oregon staff. "Being able to be a part of this program is a huge honor. I would like to thank Coach Lanning and Coach Love for putting their trust in me to help continue building this successful program. Go Ducks!"
