NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Oklahoma named Diron Reynolds as its defensive line coach Thursday.

Reynolds most recently served at Stanford, following over a decade of coaching in the NFL ranks with Indianapolis, Miami and Minnesota.

Reynolds spent last season as assistant defensive line coach for a Stanford squad that ranked third in the nation in total defense, allowing 282.4 yards per game.

From 2009 to 2013, he served as the Minnesota Vikings’ assistant defensive line coach. The team led the league in sacks with 48 in 2009 and tied for the NFL lead with 50 in 2011.

Reynolds earned a Super Bowl ring with Indianapolis following the 2006 season. He then spent a season as defensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins.
