JINKS ERA STARTS AS FALCONS BEGIN SPRING PRACTICE
The Mike Jinks era will officially begin next Monday (Feb. 29) when the Bowling Green State

15 practice sessions over the next six weeks, culminating on Friday, April 8. BGSU will hold
their annual spring game on Saturday, April 2. The time will be announced at a later date.
A LOOK BACK AT THE 2015 SEASON
The 2015 season marked another milestone year for Bowling Green, as the Falcons won the
Mid-American Conference Championship on their way to a 10-4 overall record. The MAC
Championship marked BGSU’s 12th in school history.
• BGSU won their second MAC Championship in the last three seasons.
• The Falcons faced Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship Game for the third
consecutive season.
• Bowling Green made their fourth consecutive bowl appearance, squaring off with Georgia
Southern in the GoDaddy Bowl (Mobile, Ala.).
• BGSU defeated two Big Ten Conference opponents on the road -- just the third time a MAC
program has knocked off two Big Ten programs in the same season. Bowling Green also
defeated two Big Ten teams in the 2003 season.
• For the third straight season, the Falcons ran the table against all the MAC East opponents
on their schedule. Bowling Green has now won 17 straight games over MAC East foes.
JINKS ANNOUNCES STAFF FOR 2016 SEASON
• Former Texas Tech Associate Head Coach Mike Jinks, now in his first season at Bowling
Green as the Falcons’ Head Coach, has named his coaching staff for the 2016 season.
• Perry Eliano will serve as the Falcons’ Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator.
Eliano will also coach the Bowling Green safeties. He comes to BGSU after spending the last
five seasons at University of Texas-San Antonio.
• Kevin Kilmer, after spending the last nine (???) seasons at Texas Tech, will join Jinks’ staff as
Co-Offensive Coordinator. Kilmer will coach the Falcons’ wide receivers. He has spent time
on three staffs at TTU, coaching under Mike Leach, Tommy Tuberville and Kliff Kingsbury.
• Andy Padron comes to Bowling Green after serving as the Offensive Coordinator at Texas
Lutheran University for the past six seasons. Padron will serve the Falcons as Co-Offensive
Coordinator and will be responsible for the team’s quarterbacks.
• Marcus White will be the Co-Defensive Coordinator, responsible for the defensive linemen,
under Mike Jinks. White, who has spent time at Texas Tech, coached at Faulkner University
during the 2015 season.
• Matt Brock will be the Falcons’ Special Teams’ Coordinator for the 2016 season. Brock has
spent the last several seasons as a Defensive Quality Control coach at Texas Tech and is a
2010 graduate of Baker University.
• Two coaches originally from Dino Babers’ staff will be part of Jinks’ staff in 2016. Andrew
Sowder will coach the Falcons’ outside receivers, while Mike Mickens will mentor the
cornerbacks.
• Two other assistant coaches round out Jinks’ on-field coaching staff for the upcoming
2016 season. Benny Morrison will be responsible for the team’s linebackers, while Stephen
Hamby will coach the offensive line. Morrison has spent time as a graduate assistant at both
UTSA and South Florida, after a playing career at Drake. Hamby played on the offensive line
at Texas Tech and has spent the last several years on their coaching staff working with the
offensive line.
• Four graduate assistants coaches will assist Jinks’ staff with the on-field coaching for the
2016 season. Ben Olson (defense) was part of Babers’ staff in each of the past two seasons,
while Jinks’ has hired Eddie Benavidez (defense), Seth Doege (offense) and Kenny Williams
(offense) to join the staff.
• Ryan Downard will join the staff as the Chief of Staff/Director of Football Operations.
Downard has spent each of the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns and previously
worked as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech.
• The Falcons will also hit the recruiting trails hard under the guidance of Jinks and his staff,
thanks to the help of two recruiting coordinators. Nick Young (offense) and Luke Wagner
(defense) will assist the Falcon coaching staff with recruiting operations.

HEAD COACH MIKE JINKS
Bowling Green
State University
Director of Athletics
D. Christopher
Kingston announced
on Dec. 9, 2015 that
he haD tabbed Texas
Tech Associate Head
Coach Mike Jinks to
lead the defending
Mid-American
Conference
Champion football
program. Jinks, who also coaches
running backs for the Red Raiders, will
become the 19th head coach in program
history.
“I would like to welcome Mike to the
Falcon family and the Bowling Green
community,” President Mary Ellen Mazey
commented. “Mike understands the
important leadership role he will play in
developing our student athletes for their
futures. He is a great role model and will
take us onward and upward.”
“We are so pleased that Mike Jinks and
his family have accepted the offer to be
here at Bowling Green State University
to lead the football program,” Kingston
said. “Mike is a man of impeccable
character and integrity. He places a
high value on education and he is a
winner. I am excited to see him guide
this program to continued success in the
pursuit of greatness.”
Jinks, who comes to BGSU after
spending the 2015 season as Associate
Head Coach, has coached the Red
Raiders’ running backs for the past three
seasons. Prior to his time at Texas Tech,
he was a National Coach of the Year
finalist while winning the 2010 Texas
State Championship and compiling a
record of 43-4 in his final three seasons
at San Antonio powerhouse, Steele High
School.
touchdown drives under two minutes
this season. Texas Tech also ranks inside
the top five nationally for third-down
conversions (.519), first downs offense
(346), and plays run (1,002).
Under Jinks, Texas Tech has seen
incredible success in the running game.
In just his second season, Jinks tutored
DeAndre Washington, who became
the first Red Raiders’ running back
since Ricky Williams in 1998 to surpass
1,000 yards rushing in a single season.
Washington finished the season with
1,103 rushing yards and was named
second team All-Big 12.
This season, Washington has turned into
the Big 12 Conference’s most prolific
rusher under Jinks, totaling a leaguebest 1,455 yards on the ground and 14
touchdowns. Washington is also second
in the Big 12 in all-purpose yards (146.6
yards per game) behind only teammate
Jakeem Grant (180.6 yards per game).
The Texas Tech rushing attack averages
204.8 yards per game and has tallied 34
rushing touchdowns this season.
Jinks joined the Texas Tech program
after a highly successful tenure at Steele
High School in Cibolo, Texas – a suburb
of San Antonio. Jinks was the first head
coach at Steele when the school opened
its doors in 2005, and it didn’t take
long for him to mold the program into
a state powerhouse. While at Steele,
Jinks compiled a 76-18 record overall,
including an impressive 43-4 mark in his
final three seasons. He led the Knights
to the 2010 Class 5A Division II State
Championship and to the state finals
again in 2011.
His highly successful career at Steele led
him to receiving the honor of coaching
the West Team in the U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl in January 2013. He was
also a finalist for the Xenith National
High School Coach of the Year Award.
While at Steele, Jinks coached former
Texas Longhorn, and All-American
running back, Malcolm Brown.
Prior to becoming the head coach in
Cibolo, Jinks was the head coach at
Burbank High School for a season. Prior
to that, he had a highly successful career
as a high school assistant coach and
offensive coordinator at five different
schools. Jinks’ coaching career began
in 1995 as the quarterbacks coach at
Eillison High School. In 1998, Jinks
then became the quarterbacks coach
at his alma mater, Judson High School.
Following that, he served as offensive
coordinator at David Crockett High
School, Galena Park High School and
Robert E. Lee High School, all prior to his
first head coaching position
Jinks is a graduate of Angelo State
University where he earned his degree
in kinesiology. He and his wife Meredith
have three children – Jaden, Madison
and Tristan.

PERRY ELIANO
Associate Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator/Safeties
Perry Eliano has been
hired by Mike Jinks
and will serve as the
Falcons’ Associate Head
Coach and Defensive
Coordinator, coaching
the safeties. Eliano comes
to Bowling Green after
coaching the past five
seasons at the University
of Texas-San Antonio.
At UTSA, Eliano was the
special teams coordinator
and coached safeties.
“My family and I are excited about the awesome
opportunity we have to be a part of such a
phenomenal university,” said Eliano. “We are
looking forward to embracing the great tradition
here at BGSU. We will be relentless in everything
we do!”
Last season, Eliano mentored a defensive backfield
which had 14 interceptions. Under Jinks, Eliano
will take over an already aggressive defense and
turn up the heat, as the Falcons have had 20
interceptions in 2015. Eliano coached two players
who earned All-CUSA honors in cornerback
Bennett Okotcha (second team) and safety Michael
Egwuagu (honorable mention).
In 2014, Eliano helped lead a defense that ranked
in the Conference USA top five in five different
statistical categories, including second in rushing
defense (140.8 ypg). UTSA forced 19 turnovers (10
fumbles/9 INTs) with his safeties combining for
seven of the picks. Free safety Triston Wade was
one of 15 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award
(nation’s top defensive back) — a program first —
and he also garnered second-team all-conference
honors after registering team highs for tackles
(86), interceptions (4), pass breakups (10) and
fumble recoveries (2). Wade signed with the Seattle
Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in May 2015.
Eliano’s special teams also excelled in 2014, as
the Roadrunners led the league in net punting
(39.3 avg.) on the strength of honorable mention
all-conference punter Kristian Stern, who set
school records for punts (83) and punting average
(41.2), and were tied for third in field goals behind
second-team all-conference place-kicker Sean
Ianno, who made 17-of-21, including a schoolrecord 53-yarder against Florida Atlantic, along
with registering 16 touchbacks on kickoffs. Deep
snapper Jesse Medrano also collected secondteam all-conference honors.
In 2013, Eliano helped lead UTSA to a 7-5 overall
record, including victories over a pair of bowl
teams. The Roadrunners finished second in the
West Division with a 6-2 mark in their first season
in Conference USA. He helped tutor a defense
that forced 14 turnovers (6 fumbles/8 INTs), with
the safeties combining for six of the picks, and
allowed just 143.1 rushing yards per game. Wade
led the team in tackles (94), solo tackles (54) and
interceptions (two), while Nic Johnston was third
in stops (70). On special teams, Ianno established
a school record for touchbacks with 21 and
connected on all 38 of his extra-point attempts.
Wade earned second-team All-Conference USA
honors, while Johnston and Stern were honorable
mention all-conference.
In 2012, Eliano helped lead UTSA to an 8-4 overall
record and a 3-3 mark in its first and only season
in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The
campaign was highlighted by historic wins against
South Alabama, the program’s first road and
Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) victory, and New
Mexico State, its first league win. The defense
forced 29 turnovers (16 fumbles/13 interceptions),
which led to 22 scores (15 TDs/7 FGs), and Wade
garnered first-team All-WAC accolades.
In his first year overseeing special teams, the
placekickers combined to make 15-of-19 field goals
and all 45 PATs. Kenny Harrison finished second
in the FBS in punt return average (17.3), had a
program-record 79-yard TD return in the seasonending victory against I-35 rival Texas State and
was an honorable mention all-league selection..
Eliano helped lead the Roadrunners to a 4-6
record during their inaugural campaign in 2011.
The defense allowed just 21.4 points and 126.2
yards rushing per game and forced 21 turnovers
(11 fumbles, 10 interceptions), which led to 15
scores. His safeties recovered six fumbles —
three by Johnston — and picked off five passes.
Additionally, three of the team’s top five tacklers
were in his unit — Mark Waters (68/2nd), Johnston
(59/4th) and Mauricio Sanchez (44/5th).
Prior to his time on the Roadrunners coaching staff,
Eliano was an assistant at Central Arkansas from
2006-10. He coached defensive backs throughout
his tenure and was named associate head coach
prior to his final season. Eliano coached the
2005 season as Sam Houston State’s secondary
coach after an earlier two-season stint at Central
Arkansas as the running backs and wide receivers
coach. Eliano coached wide receiver Mike Norvell
at Central Arkansas, who was recently hired as
Memphis’ head coach.
A Killeen, Texas native, Eliano got his coaching start
as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Stephen
F. Austin, from 2001-02. Eliano played linebacker
for the Lumberjacks from 1996-99. He was the
team’s Defensive Most Valuable Player and leading
tackler in both 1998 and ‘99. Playing strong safety
as a senior, he registered a team-high 99 tackles
to help guide the Lumberjacks to the Southland
Championship and was named all-conference
following that campaign. He also was named the
Ralph Todd Award (University Outstanding Male
Athlete) winner the following spring.
A standout prep defensive back, Eliano was a
three-year letterwinner at Ellison High School from
1993-95. He earned all-state honors following his
senior season after helping the Eagles reach the
Class 5A state quarterfinals.
Eliano earned his bachelor’s degree from Stephen
F. Austin in 2000 and a master’s in secondary
education three years later. He and his wife,
Regenia, have two sons, Amari and Evan.

FALCON FOOTBALL
KEVIN KILMER
Co-Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers
Kevin Kilmer will join the staff of new head coach Mike Jinks as the Co-Offensive Coordinator. He will work with the
Falcons’ wide receivers.
“I’m fired up to be part of the BG family,” Kilmer commented. “I can’t wait to get out on the field with the players. I’m very
thankful for the opportunity from Coach Jinks and BGSU.”
Kilmer spent last season at Texas Tech as the offensive quality control coach, after previously serving as an offensive
graduate assistant for the Red Raiders.
Kilmer, who graduated from Texas Tech with a Bachelor of Arts in History in 2011 and a Master of Science in
Interdisciplinary Studies in 2015, has been at TTU since 2007. He began his coaching career as a student assistant under
Mike Leach, who is currently the head coach at Washington State. He has also worked for Tommy Tuberville – currently
at Cincinnati – and Kliff Kingsbury.
The Red Raiders have been to a bowl game in seven of nine seasons with Kilmer on the staff, as he is no stranger to
postseason success. During his time with the program, he has coached the quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs. Besides working
under the three Texas Tech head coaches, Kilmer has worked alongside of Lincoln Riley (currently Offensive Coordinator at Oklahoma), Neal
Brown (currently Head Coach at Troy) and most recently, Jinks.
Kilmer has been responsible for film breakdown and game planning during the past year as Offensive Quality Control. On game day, he
charted the defense and also helped organize recruiting visits for the Red Raiders. He has also served as the Kliff Kingsbury Football Summer
Camps Director, responsible for all aspects of the camp.
Kilmer, a native of Slaton, Texas, is married to his wife Jaryn. The couple was married in March of 2014.
MARCUS WHITE
Co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Line
Marcus White joins Mike Jinks staff at Bowling Green as the Co-Defensive Coordinator. White, who coached the 2015
season at Faulkner University, will coach the defensive line for the Falcons. Jinks and White previously worked together
at Texas Tech, as White served the Red Raiders in an off-the-field role the two seasons prior.
“What an honor it is to be able to coach at such a prestigious university such as Bowling Green,” White began. “It’s not
every day that you get to be a part of a program with such a storied tradition and record of excellence both on and off
the field. I want to thanks Coach Jinks, Chris Kingston and his administration for affording me and my family such a great
opportunity.”
White, a former player at Auburn and Murray State, joined the Faulkner staff as the defensive line coach prior to the
2015 season. In 2015, Faulkner went 7-3 and won their final four games of the season. The Eagles totaled 103.0 tackles
for loss and 48.0 sacks. Freshman Qunn Johnson was named Mid-South Conference’s West Division defensive Freshman
of the Year, registering 45 tackles, 8.5 TFL, and 5.5 sacks. Additionally, defensive lineman Tony Threatt was named first
team All-MSC after totaling 51 tackles, 11.5 TFL and 8.5 sacks. Johnson was named second team All-MSC.
Having originally signed with Auburn, White transferred prior to the 2003 season to Murray State, where he was an All-Ohio Valley Conference
selection for three years. White was a member of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans from 2005-2007 before concluding his professional career in the
Arena Football League.
A graduate of Murray State, White was an offensive analyst at Texas Tech prior to his time at Faulkner. He served as an offensive quality control
assistant at Houston in 2012, Tarleton State’s offensive line coach in ‘11 and worked another year at Houston in ‘10 as an offensive graduate
assistant. A Theodore, Ala., product, he was an assistant at St. Paul’s Episcopal in Mobile, Ala., in ‘09 and the defensive line coach at Jackson Olin
High in Birmingham, Ala., in ‘08.
White and his wife, Jaunelle, have three daughters - MaKiah, Jailyn, and Layla.

ANDY PADRON
Co-Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks
Andy Padron comes to
Bowling Green to join the
coaching staff of head
coach Mike Jinks after
coaching the past six
seasons at Texas Lutheran
University. Padron will be
the Falcons’ Co-Offensive
Coordinator, responsible
for the quarterbacks.
2014 NCAA playoff appearance was TLU’s first in
NCAA DIII and the first in program history since the
1976 NAIA-II national semifinal.
“My wife and I are
extremely excited to be
joining the Bowling Green
community and the Falcon
coaching staff,” Padron started. “We are ready to get
to BGSU and continue building upon the winning
tradition!”
The Bulldogs won a second consecutive SCAC
Championship in 2014 behind an offense that
(after 11 games) was ninth nationally in total
offense (498.0 ypg), 14th in rushing offense (261.8
ypg), 19th in scoring offense (40.5 ppg), fourth
in first downs offense (288), 31st in red zone
offense (.864) and 21st in time of possession (1,995
minutes).
Padron joined his father, TLU Head Football
Coach Danny Padron, on the coaching staff of the
Bulldogs when he accepted the head coaching
position in January 2010. The younger Padron
handled the play-calling duties in 2011 as the
quarterbacks coach and has continued in that
duty to present day. He was elevated to offensive
coordinator following the 2011 season.
In his six seasons with the Bulldogs, Padron
coached an offense and individual players that
combined to set 49 new TLU team and individual
records.
After inheriting a program that went 6-24 in the
three previous seasons, Padron helped engineer a
turn-around that produced a 38-22 overall record
over the next six seasons.
The Bulldogs won three Southern Collegiate
Athletic Conference Championships, claimed
a 2014 NCAA Division III Championship playoff
berth, and received repeated Top 25 national
rankings.
The 2015 TLU Bulldogs won a third straight
Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference
Championship and led the SCAC in nearly every
offensive category. The Bulldogs went 3-0 in the
SCAC and 8-2 overall, just missing out on an NCAA
DIII at-large playoff berth.
As the team’s quarterbacks coach, Padron guided
TLU QB Trenton White to the 2015 SCAC Offensive
Player of the Year award. White set the new TLU
school record for career passing touchdowns (61).
White led the SCAC in passing yards, passing
yards per game, completions (TLU single-season
record 207), attempts, completion percentage and
touchdowns. White finished second in TLU history
in career passing yards (5,874) and completion
percentage (62.7).
Among all NCAA DIII schools in 2015, the Bulldogs
currently rank 22nd in total offense, 32nd in
passing offense, 21st in scoring offense, 29th in
first downs, 14th in red zone offense, 11th in time
of possession, and 18th in completion percentage.
The 2014 TLU Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA
Division III playoffs as an at-large bid team. The
Page 5
The Bulldogs, 17th in the AFCA Coaches’ Poll at
the end of the 2014 regular season, fell 27-20 in
the NCAA Football Championship first round to
No. 2-ranked University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, in a
game played at UMHB’s Crusader Stadium over a
weather-delayed two days.
TLU running back Marquis Barrolle led all of NCAA
Division III in rushing after 11 games, posting
1,792 rushing yards (a school record) on 297
carries (another school record). In the DIII playoff
game against UMHB, Barrolle carried the ball a
conference and school record 50 times for 224
yards against the then No. 14-ranked UMHB run
defense.
In 2012, Padron and Bulldogs set new school team
records for passing yards (3,253), passing yards per
game (325.3), total offense per game (480.9), total
offense in a single game (616, vs. Sul Ross State on
Oct. 13) and for touchdown passes in a season (29).
The record book onslaught by the TLU Offense
continued in 2013. On their way to the SCAC
Championship, the Bulldogs led the league in total
offense, rushing offense, passing offense, scoring
offense, turnover margin, passing efficiency, fewest
turnovers lost, fewest passes intercepted, first
downs, third and fourth-down conversions, red
zone offense, and pass completion percentage.
Nationally, the Bulldogs of 2013 had the third-best
total offense (521.2 yards per game) in all of NCAA
DIII. The Bulldogs also ranked ninth in passing
offense (326.7), sixth in scoring offense (46.1), 14th
in team passing efficiency (155.84 rating), 33rd in
first downs (237), 24th in fourth-down conversion
rate (.613), 40th in time of possession, and 27th in
completion percentage (.643).
Padron coached TLU quarterback Brent Peavy to
multiple individual school records and to the SCAC
Offensive Player of the Year award. The Bulldogs of
2013 set new school records for passing yards per
game, total offense per game, points per game, TD
passes, and TDs per game.
Padron is a 2007 graduate of the University of Mary
Hardin-Baylor, where he starred as a quarterback
and helped UMHB to the NCAA Division III National
Championship game in 2004.
Padron was a part of Cru football squads that went
41-8 from 2003 to 2006 and won four American
Southwest Conference Championships.
Padron and his wife Sarah, a Texas Lutheran grad,
were married in 2013.

ANDREW SOWDER
Assistant Coach/Outside Wide Receivers
Sowder begins his third year at Bowling Green, and will coach outside receivers in 2016. He
joins Jinks staff after coaching under Dino Babers the last four seasons. Sowder also coached
wide receivers last season, mentoring All-MAC picks Roger Lewis, Gehrig Dieter and Ronnie
Moore.
At EIU, Sowder was responsible for the outside receivers. After serving as Director of Player
Personnel & Recruiting in 2014, Sowder will be back on the field in a coaching role for the
2015 season.
A main role that Sowder filled on the Falcons’ support staff is that of the recruiting
coordinator. Under Sowder’s direction, the Falcons’ coaching staff secured 21 student-athletes
in their 2015 recruiting class. Sowder was responsible for scheduling recruiting travel, official
visits, and managing the recruiting process for the Orange and Brown.
2013 was a banner year for the receiving core at EIU. Sowder coached the outside receivers,
as the the Panthers caught 395 passes for 5,213 yards and 55 touchdowns. EIU’s receivers
averaged 13.2 yards per catch and 372.4 yards per game during the school-record breaking
season.
During the 2012 season Sowder helped coach a wide receiver unit that hauled in a previous school record 341 passes for
4,019 yards and 34 touchdowns. The outside group was led by seniors Chris Wright and Chavar Watkins. Wright matched
the OVC record for consecutvie games with a touchdown reception as he finished in the EIU career top ten in yards,
receptions and touchdown catches.
Sowder was a student coach at Baylor assisting Babers with the wide receivers and special teams in 2009 and 2010
following a playing career with the Bears.
During the 2011 season Sowder worked as the running backs coach at West Texas A&M with the team posting an 8-3
record including a win over Central Missouri in the Kanza Bowl. He coached running back Khiry Robinson who was the
MVP of the Kanza Bowl and is now a member of the New Orleans Saints.
Sowder is very familiar with Babers’ #FalconFast offensive system having played and coached under Art Briles. He was a
tight end at Baylor during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. In August of 2009 he became a student coach assisting Babers with
the wide receivers and tight ends. Baylor ended the season with an appearance in the Texas Bowl as the offensive unit
ranked 12th in the nation in total offense.
Sowder earned his undergraduate degree from Baylor in 2011 in film/digital media.
RYAN DOWNARD
Chief Of Staff/Director of Football Operations
Ryan Downard joins the staff of new Bowling Green head football coach Mike
Jinks as the Director of Football Operations. Downard comes to Bowling Green
after serving as a defensive coaching assistant with the Cleveland Browns during
the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
“My family and I are extremely excited to be a part of the Falcon family,” Downard
started. “I look forward to being back in the Mid-American Conference with Coach
Jinks and the incredible staff he has put together.”
While with the Browns organization, Downard has assisted with both the
defensive backs (2015) and defensive line (2014). He was responsible for working
with the position groups during individual periods and conducted rookie
meetings. He also led special teams drills for gunners, corners and safeties.
Another key administrative role that Downard filled while with the Browns was
interviewing combine participants prior to the NFL Draft. He also recruited Free
Agents for NFL Mini Camp. During the season, Downard was responsible for game week preparations,
including game plan, film breakdown, practice cards, scouting reports and call sheets.
Prior to his two seasons with the Browns, Downard served as a graduate assistant at both Texas Tech and
Toledo. While at Texas Tech, Downard worked with Co-Defensive Coordinator Mike Smith. He also coached
two positions on the special teams’ units and was involved with all on-campus recruiting visits and dinners.
While at the University of Toledo as a graduate assistant, Downard assisted current head coach Jason
Candle.
At Bowling Green, Downard will handle the non-coaching activities of the Falcon football program. This
includes departmental budget, personnel and staffing, academics, team travel, summer camps and
all other day-to-day operations. Downard will also be the football program’s liaison to the University
Administration and all other units within the BGSU Athletics Department.
A native of Lima, Ohio, Downard graduated from Shawnee High School and Eastern Michigan University.
While at EMU, he earned multiple MAC Player of the Week awards, was a team captain, and earned
freshman All-America honors as a defensive back. Downard is married to his wife, Julie, and the couple has
a son – Jaxon.
