Former Division I player Deland McCullough II is in his first season as defensive backs coach at Oberlin College.

A 2023 graduate of the University Indiana, McCullough played in 10 games for the Hoosiers in 2021 after transferring from Miami University (OH). However, an injury made him forgo his senior season on the field but he stayed with the program as a student assistant. 

McCullough II comes from a strong coaching background as his father, Deland Sr., is the current running backs coach at the University of Notre Dame and won a Super Bowl as a coach with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020. His grandfather, Sherman Smith, played in the NFL for eight seasons and went to coach in the league with the Titans, Commanders, and Seahawks from 1995-2017.
