A source confirmed the hire to SB Nation on Thursday.
Arroyo spent the vast majority of his early coaching career on the West Coast, spending five seasons at San Jose State, and then joining Wyoming’s staff in 2009-10. He then spent the 2011-12 seasons at Cal, before getting hired at Southern Miss as the Golden Eagles’ offensive coordinator in 2013.
He then joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ staff as an offensive assistant in 2014, before getting hired by Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State.
During his time with the Bucs, Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson both had over 1,000-yards in 2014-15, which was the first time in Buccaneers history that two receivers surpassed 1,000 yards in the same season.
In Stillwater, Arroyo coached the running backs, where the unit combined for 25 rushing touchdowns in 2016, matching the two-year total from 2014 and 2015 combined.
