COWBOY COACH: Ty Nichols is an assistant coach for the University of Arizona football team, but before his football days, he grew up with a love for the rodeo.
"I was a walk on at the University of Wyoming. Then, when I got done with my playing career, I always knew I wanted to get into coaching. So, I volunteered at my old high school. Then, I was blessed enough to get on with Texas Tech and then that opportunity two years later lead me to here," said Nichols.
"My main event was steer wrestling, which is the one you'll see where I'm kind of pulling the steer to the ground type deal. I was lucky enough to win a state championship in that in Texas," said Nichols. "So, my dad and his dad they grew up in eastern Oregon and they grew up ranching and rodeoing, so he got me into that," said Nichols."Love both of them. My favorite one was the steer wrestling. That was mainly what my dad did.""The kids' kind of like it whenever I say I can, you know, wrestle a steer to the ground so i don't want to hear anything about them not being able to tackle somebody.
