Aych spent parts of four seasons at UTEP as assistant wide receivers coach, starting in 2016. He previously also had a stint as tight ends coach at Arizona.

“Theron comes from a really good system where they were able to get a lot of rushing yards with great balance in the offense,” George said. “Not quite the pro style system, more college friendly.”

Tennessee State ranked No. 5 in scoring, No. 5 in total offense, and No. 2 in passing offense in the Ohio Valley Conference under Jackson in 2021.
