CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Coe College Football head coach Tyler Staker announced the promotion of Trevor McConnell to the program's offensive coordinator Monday afternoon. McConnell, a member of the Kohawk staff since January of 2024, has helped elevate the offensive unit and program as a whole as the wide receivers coach, recruiting and video coordinator. Since joining the program, the Kohawk offense has ranked inside the top 50 in DIII in total offense (13th in 2025 & 45th in 2024) while seeing Jeron Senters tie the single-season touchdown receiving record in 2024. McConnell will replace Jacob Donohue who was with the program as the offensive coordinator during the 2025 season. 
 
"I am extremely excited and grateful to announce the promotion of Coach McConnell to Offensive Coordinator!" Staker said. "Coach McConnell has been a huge part of our success over the past two seasons as our wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. His knowledge of the game, leadership, and ability to communicate and connect with our players are outstanding. Most importantly, he builds meaningful relationships that drive our program forward. I can't wait to see our offense continue to evolve and thrive under his leadership!"
 
As the Recruiting Coordinator at Coe College, Trevor has demonstrated a strong ability to connect with prospects across the country. He has been responsible for national recruiting, covering key areas including California, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and more. His recruiting efforts have contributed to the acquisition of standout athletes, including a number of All-Conference and All-American players. Trevor also manages the logistics of recruiting visits, schedules, and campus visits, working in tandem with admissions and professors to ensure a seamless experience for recruits.
 
"I am so thankful and appreciative of this opportunity," said McConnell. "This is where I wanted to be, this is who I wanted to be surrounded by. Now it's up to me to make Coach Staker and our players right for believing in me!"
 
In addition to coaching and recruiting, Trevor has made significant contributions as the team's Video Coordinator. He oversees practice filming, self-scouting, opponent scouting, and the creation of highlight reels, team media content, and social media graphics. His expertise in video production and media management has played a critical role in enhancing the team's recruiting efforts and overall presence.
 
Before joining Coe College, Trevor served at Valparaiso University as the Running Backs Coach and Special Teams Assistant, where he worked with offensive players, organized scout teams, and assisted in coaching all offensive positions. He also helped with national recruiting and played an integral role in the transition of offensive coordinators. At Valpo, Trevor's responsibilities expanded to include film breakdowns, managing team media, and assisting with the creation of the offensive playbook.
 
Trevor's coaching journey began as a student-athlete at Ohio Northern University, where he excelled as a five-year quarterback and was a captain of the team. He was also a key member of the football team leadership committee and involved in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Trevor's leadership and recruiting skills were developed through his work as the Director of Multi-Media and Recruiting Assistant, where he helped manage social media content and created recruiting strategies for the Ohio Northern Football team.
