A native of Louisiana, Buckels played collegiately at LSU and coached high school football in the state, allowing the Hurricane to expand its recruiting blueprint in the state of Louisiana even more.
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 coached at Hammonds (La.) High School from 1996-99, helping the Tornados to the Class 4A state semifinals in 1996 and 1997 as a defensive assistant coach.
Buckels’ collegiate coaching stops have included Delta State (2001-02), Southeastern Louisiana (2003-04), New Mexico State (2005-07), North Texas (2009-10) and Baylor University (2011-16). In the summer of 2010, Buckels worked with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders coaching staff as a part of the Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship Program.
Buckels was a two-time all-state defensive back at Amite (La.) High School before going on to a four-year career at LSU. A four-year letterman (1989-92), Buckels served as team captain and earned special teams MVP honors in 1991. He tallied six career interceptions and returned one for a touchdown.
After LSU, he had stints in professional football with the CFL’s Baltimore Stallions and the semi-pro Louisiana Bayou Thunder.
