After playing under Brent Venables at Clemson, Skalski will now join his former position coach as an assistant for the Sooners. Skalski, after a very successful career at Clemson, will join the staff of one of college football's most successful programs and help them continue their winning tradition.

Skalski was a standout linebacker at Clemson, helping the Tigers win their second national championship in three years in 2018. As an assistant coach with Oklahoma, Skalski will be able to draw on his experience as a player and help guide the Sooners' linebackers.
