AMES, Iowa (AP) — Matt Campbell’s first staff at Iowa State will apparently look a lot like his last one at Toledo. Campbell announced his first four hires Tuesday, and all four have connections to Campbell while with the Rockets.

Former Toledo assistant Tom Manning will be Iowa State’s offensive line coach. D.K. McDonald will work with the cornerbacks and John Kuceyeski will be Campbell’s director of scouting. Alex Golesh, who spent the last four seasons at Illinois, will be Campbell’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator.

Campbell, hired Sunday to replace Paul Rhoads, says he has a “pretty good idea” of who his coordinators will be but didn’t offer specifics.
