ARKANSAS TECH 2021 FOOTBALL RYAN TREVATHAN @R_Trevathan
Offensive Coordinator 3rd Year Arkansas State (2011) Ryan Trevathan enters his third year at Arkansas Tech since joining the Arkansas Tech staff in January, 2019 as Wide Receivers Coach. Prior to the 2020 year, Trevathan was promoted to offensive coordinator. He spent two years as offensive coordinator at Pearl River Community College before making his way to Arkansas Tech. Prior to his time at Pearl River, he spent two years as the offensive coordinator at Northeast Mississippi Community College. After his inaugural season in Poplarville, eight offensive Wildcats signed with four-year programs, including offensive linemen Gerald Bell (Troy) and Tyrin Arceneaux (Nicholls State), Jamarcus Holmes (Tusculum College), Tremaine Chatman (Tusculum College), Tyler Harris (North Carolina-Pembroke), receiver Malcolm Staten (Arkansas-Monticello) and running back Caleb Batie (Missouri Southern State). One of PRCC’s biggest success stories in 2017 was the emergence of quarterback Markevion Quinn. The dynamic quarterback didn’t hold a fouryear offer out of high school, but after passing for 943 yards and six touchdowns and running for 879 yards and 17 scores, Quinn signed with Memphis prior to the start of the 2018 season. The Wildcat offense proved to be one of the best in school history with Trevathan’s guidance. PRCC’s 3,822 total yards were the eighthmost in school history, while the team’s 2,399 yards rushing were the most since 1994. Trevathan is a native of Jonesboro, Arkansas, and graduated from Jonesboro High in 2007. He was an undergraduate student assistant coach at Arkansas State during his four years at ASU, graduating in Dec. 2011 with a degree in physical education.
He spent three seasons at Ole Miss, serving as a graduate assistant in 2012-13 and working specifically with tight ends before becoming a full staff member in 2014 as a quality control coach. During his time on the Rebel sideline, Ole Miss produced two of its three best offensive seasons in school history, including a record 6,153 yards in 2013. Under Trevathan’s tutelage, Ole Miss saw tight end Evan Engram become an All-SEC and All-American selection before leaving Oxford as a first-round NFL draft pick by the New York Giants. Trevathan then moved on to Northeast Mississippi Community College, where he served as offensive coordinator. During his debut season in Booneville in 2015, Trevathan’s offense averaged 301 yards per game and scored 24 total touchdowns. The Tigers improved drastically in his encore season, averaging 366.1 yards and finding the end zone a total of 31 times. In just two seasons with NEMCC, Trevathan saw 12 offensive players go on to four-year schools, including quarterbacks Mason Cunningham (Liberty) and Kendrick Doss (Jacksonville State), running backs Kenzie Phillips (Mississippi College) and Tiberias Lampkin (Mississippi College), offensive linemen Jo’Quarius Savage (LouisianaMonroe), Ethan Smart (Purdue) and Ryan Baysinger (Arkansas-Monticello), tight end Ross Painter (Arkansas State), and receivers Jaylon Fair (Oklahoma-Panhandle), Joe Horn, Jr. (Missouri Western), Donta Armstrong (West Alabama) and Khalid Kornegay (Regina). Trevathan and his wife, Morgan, have four children, Kaden, Hudson, Ellie and Rowan.
