Jordan Wynn begins his first season as quarterbacks coach for the Hawai‘i coaching staff after spending one season as graduate assistant in 2013.
The former University of Utah quarterback mentored the quarterbacks last season and also assisted head coach Norm Chow with the game-planning and play-calling.
Under his tutelage, quarterback Sean Schroeder threw for 2,960 yards and 28 touchdowns in eight starts and earned an invitation to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. Schroeder eclipsed 300-yards passing six times, including a career-high 499 yards and six touchdowns against Wyoming.
The Rainbow Warriors finished 19th nationally in passing yards (301.4) and averaged 416.0 yards of total offense per game, an improvement of 119 yards from 2012. UH’s offense also produced 56 passing plays and nine running plays of 20 yards or more compared to 26 and 13, respectively, one season ago.
Wynn played two full seasons and parts of two others before retiring from football due to a chronic shoulder injury. He finished his career with a 14-7 record as a starter and played in 22 career games, throwing for 4,637 yards, eighth-best in school history. He also completed 60 percent of his pass attempts and threw 33 career touchdowns, which is sixth-best in school history.
In 2009, he became only the third true freshman to start at quarterback for Utah and capped his season as the Poinsettia Bowl’s Most Valuable Player, leading the Utes to a 37-27 victory over California and a 10-3 campaign. The following year, he started in 10 games and finished second in the Mountain West and 30th nationally, averaging 233.4 yards per game. After starting the first four games of 2011, his season was cut short due to an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He started the first two games of 2012 before reinjuring his shoulder and announcing his retirement from the sport.
A two-time all-state performer from Oceanside High School in California, Wynn received his bachelor’s degree in economics from Utah in 2012.
