Utah Football Hires Jason Beck as Offensive Coordinator

Utah football is set to hire Jason Beck, former offensive coordinator at New Mexico, as their new offensive coordinator following Andy Ludwig's resignation. Beck's Lobos offense was notably prolific, averaging 33.5 points and 484.3 total yards per game in 2024, with a strong rushing attack that garnered 253.6 yards per game. His appointment comes as Utah seeks to revitalize an offense that struggled during its inaugural season in the Big 12, particularly after losing starting quarterback Cameron Rising to injury. Beck has a history of coaching success, having previously worked under Bronco Mendenhall at BYU and Virginia, where he developed notable quarterbacks including Taysom Hill. This move follows Utah's unsuccessful attempts to secure other candidates for the position, making Beck a pivotal choice to improve the Utes' offensive fortunes.
