Jake Spavital

One of college football’s youngest coaches, Spavital was promoted to offensive coordinator at Texas A&M prior to the Chick-fil-A Bowl in December 2013 and the move resulted in 52 points for the Aggies in Johnny Manziel’s final college game. Considered an elite up-and-comer on the offensive side of the ball, Spavital learned the ropes from several Air Raid advocates including Dana Holgersen at West Virginia prior to joining Kevin Sumlin’s staff in 2013.

A former quarterback at Missouri State, Spavital’s coaching career kicked off in 2008 at Tulsa where he worked under Gus Malzahn on offense. A year each mastering the offensive attacks at Houston and Oklahoma State supplied Spavital with enough knowledge to coach quarterbacks for two seasons with the Mountaineers.

During his short career, Spavital has coached Case Keenum, Brandon Weeden and Geno Smith in pass-happy systems.
