Bryce Erickson enters his third season as Arizona State's running backs coach.
Last season Erickson guided one of only two Pac-12 Conference returning running back duos in which both players amassed 500 rushing yards, as Cameron Marshall and Deantre Lewis join only LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner of Oregon for that honor. Marshall and Lewis combined for over 1,300 rushing yards and 16 total touchdowns in 2010. Additionally, Coach Erickson will have five running backs returning who have recorded a carry in 2010, the greatest quantity of returning contributors at running back position in the Pac-12 Conference.
Erickson served two seasons as a graduate assistant to the Sun Devil coaching staff. During that time, Erickson worked with the offense and served as the assistant quarterbacks coach.
Prior to joining ASU, Erickson spent the previous three seasons on the coaching staff at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, N.M., working with former ASU graduate assistant Arna Bontemps. Erickson spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons as the quarterbacks coach before becoming offensive coordinator during the 2006 season.
Erickson played college football at the University of Miami in 1993, before finishing his career at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
Erickson earned a B.S. in Exercise Science from New Mexico Highlands in 2006.
