"My Guy," Clair wrote in his story with a saluting face emoji.

Fessler was an offensive coordinator at UCLA and Akron before joining the Ohio State Buckeyes. He will replace the Buckeyes' former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Fessler was instrumental in the development of the Buckeyes' quarterback Will Howard, who led his team to a national championship last year.

Howard had high praise for Fessler and gave him credit for his development last year.

"Billy Fessler is one of the guys that doesn't get a lot of credit, too; he did an unbelievable job developing me this year," the quarterback said on his social media, as per Eleven Warriors.

The coach will now get a chance to work with one of the best quarterbacks from the Class of 2025. Clair is ranked No.4 in the country and is the third-best quarterback in the Class of 2025, as per On3. He is also the best overall recruit from the state of Ohio.
