SAN DIEGO - The University of San Diego football team has announced the addition of Austen Jacobs, who will serve as Offensive Line Coach. Jacobs comes to San Diego from Lamar University, where he coached tight ends. 

Prior to Lamar, Jacobs worked with an offensive front at San Diego State that helped produce nearly 350 yards of offense per game. During that stretch the Aztecs advanced to two bowl game appearances including a 10-win season and a victory in the New Mexico Bowl in 2019.
 
Jacobs previously served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State working with the Demons' tight ends. Before his stint in Natchitoches, La., Jacobs spent 2016 at Humboldt State and was key in the development of running back Ja'Quan Gardner. Under Jacobs guidance, Gardner earned Division II All-America accolades. During his time with the Lumberjacks, Jacobs recruited the San Francisco and San Jose areas.
 
Jacobs began his professional career as an offensive quality control coach at Colorado State. He spent two seasons with the Rams serving under head coach Jim McElwain.
 
Jacobs received his bachelor's degree in biomedical science from Texas A&M in 2014. He has completed work toward a master's degree in homeland security.
