STILLWATER, Oklahoma -- Out with the old, in with the new.

That’s exactly what Oklahoma State University’s head coach Mike Gundy has been doing, following the departure of several members of his coaching staff.

Gundy completed the coaching transition Thursday by bringing on Jemal Singleton from the University of Indiana.

Singleton recently joined the staff at Indiana, having served as the running backs coach and run-game coordinator at his alma mater, Air Force, for eight seasons.

"Jemal is a high character guy with a strong pedigree and a lot of discipline," Gundy said. "He played on and coached teams that had a lot of success. We're excited about he brings to Oklahoma State."

Singleton received bachelor’s degree in social sciences from the Air Force and was the football team’s co-captain in 1998. His leadership helped the team finish with 10-3 and 21-1 seasons at the end of his junior and senior years, respectively. The feat was the first time in the program’s history the team won at least 10 games in consecutive seasons.

"I'm very excited about the opportunity to work at Oklahoma State and with Coach Gundy," Singleton said. "It's a phenomenal program. It's a school I knew a lot about while growing up in Texas and I'm excited to now be a Cowboy myself."

Singleton and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter, Morgan.
