Willie Taggart is one step closer to completing his coaching staff for a second time in less than two months.

On Tuesday Taggart and the Oregon Ducks officially announced the hiring of Marcus Arroyo.

Arroyo will serve as Co-Offensive Coordinator, as well as coach the team's quarterbacks and tight ends. Arroyo spent the last two seasons at Oklahoma State coaching running backs.

Arroyo's work with OSU's running backs in 2016 saw the Cowboys increase their rushing average from 3.6 yards per carry and 126.8 yards per game to 4.52 yards per carry and 170.9 yards per game. Freshman Justice Hill set an OSU freshman rushing record in 2016 with 1,142 yards.

Prior to coaching at Oklahoma State, Arroyo had stops with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL coaching quarterbacks and as an offensive coordinator. He also spent time coaching at Southern Mississippi State, California, Wyoming, San Jose State, and Prairie View A&M.

Arroyo played college football at San Jose State from 1998-2002.

The Oregon Ducks and Willie Taggart have one spot left on the coaching staff, and it's expected to be filled by Michael Johnson.
