Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Joe Bob Clements is joining the K-State football staff, a source confirmed Thursday.
Clements will serve as an assistant for the Wildcats and new head coach Collin Klein, the source said.
Clements just finished his 12th year as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at OSU. He had been a coach at Kansas State beginning in 1999, when he was a student assistant. He was defensive ends coach there from 2003-2005, then defensive line coach from 2009 to 2011, and defense run game coordinator in 2012.
Clements on Thursday changed his profile on the social media app X to a Powercat, which prompted excited replies from Wildcat fans.
He joined the Oklahoma State coaching staff in January of 2013 after helping lead his alma mater, Kansas State, to the Big 12 title in 2012. Six of Clements’ 11 years in Stillwater have resulted in 10-win seasons for OSU.
