SAN ANTONIO —UTSA head coach Frank Wilson announced Monday that he has promoted Jeff Kastl to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
"I'm excited to announce that Jeff Kastl will be our offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach," Wilson said. "He's a dedicated coach with a bright mind and he has done an outstanding job with our receivers and as our passing game coordinator during his time at UTSA. Jeff is a rising star in the coaching world and he will have a positive and immediate impact on our program in his new role."
Kastl was one of Wilson's first hires at UTSA when he was named wide receivers coach on Jan. 20, 2016, just five days after Wilson was named the second head coach in program history, and he is the longest-tenured assistant coach on the staff.
A former quarterback at Michigan from 2002-06, Kastl spent his first two seasons at UTSA as the wide receivers coach before adding the role of passing game coordinator prior to the 2018 campaign.
During his time in the Alamo City, his receivers have broken 10 school records.
Kerry Thomas Jr. finished his career as UTSA's all-time receiving yardage leader with 1,630 and receiving touchdowns with 17. He also set the single-season receiving TDs standard with eight in 2016.
Josh Stewart etched his name atop the school record book in a trio of categories. He set career marks for receiving yards per game with 50.0 and single season standards for receiving yards with 682 and yards per receptions with 18.94, both in 2016.
Greg Campbell Jr. broke single-game records for receptions and receiving yards with 11 catches for 186 against North Texas in 2018. With that performance in his final game as a Roadrunner, he also moved atop the program's single-season lists for receptions with 58 and receiving yards per game with 59.8. In addition, Campbell also leaped into second place on the single-season receiving yards chart with 658.
Prior to his time at UTSA, Kastl was an offensive analyst at LSU in 2015, a defensive analyst at Michigan in 2013-14 and a graduate assistant at Auburn in 2012. He spent three seasons at Ashland, the first two as running backs and tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator before being promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks and receivers coach in 2011. He got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan in 2007.
During his playing days in Ann Arbor, he helped lead the Wolverines to a pair of Big Ten titles. He was the U of M Athletic Academic Achievement Award winner all five years and earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades as a senior.
The Clinton Township, Mich., native earned his bachelor's degree in sports management and communications from Michigan in 2006 and his master's degree in sports management from Michigan in 2009.
He and his wife, Kate, have two daughters, Maeve and Hannah.
