For you younger fans, he played at LSU during some tough years (Archer / Hallman). Here is some background...

quote:

Carlton Buckels joined the TCU staff in January 2022 as cornerbacks coach.

Buckels spent the previous four seasons (2018-21) at Tulsa, where he worked with TCU Defensive Coordinator Joe Gillespie.

quote:

Buckels received his start in collegiate coaching at his alma mater, LSU, where he served as a graduate assistant under Nick Saban and Gerry Dinardo. He worked with the defense and special teams while earning his master’s degree in 2001.

Before beginning his collegiate coaching career, Buckels was a defensive assistant at Hammond (La.) High School from 1996-99, helping the Tornados to the Class 4A state semifinals in 1996 and 1997.

Buckels was a two-time all-state defensive back at Amite (La.) High School before going to LSU. A four-year letterman (1989-92), Buckels served as Team Captain and earned Special Teams Most Valuable Player honors in 1991. He totaled six career interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.

1991 was the first full season I remember being a diehard fan. So that name hits all the right feels. Great for him!

Poor dude never had a winning season at LSU. Those were absolutely miserable years. Hopefully he gets some redemption tonight.

Worked with his girlfriend when. He was on Hal Mumme’s staff as SLU resurrected its football program.

I remember an LSU player, walk-on possibly, Dorsett Buckels. Are they related?
