Graham Hobbs opens his first season as offensive coordinator at Sewanee in 2023 after serving two seasons as Associate Head Coach at Saint Augustine’s University in Raleigh, N.C.
Hobbs coached quarterbacks and wide receivers the last two years at Saint Augustine’s, improving the offense and organization of the Falcon football program while coaching All-CIAA receiver Deandre Proctor.
He spent one year at Western Carolina, working with running backs during the 2021 FCS spring season for the Catamounts, and coaching First Team All-SoCon running back Donnovan Spencer. He served as a graduate assistant for one season at East Carolina, assisting with wide receivers and tight ends, helping C.J. Johnson set an ECU freshman record 908 receiving yards and FWAA Freshman All-America honors.
Prior to ECU, Hobbs spent one year as the quarterbacks coach at North Carolina Central in Durham, N.C. The Eagles used three different quarterbacks to combine for 16 passing touchdowns against only three interceptions with then-sophomore Chauncey Caldwell twice earning MEAC Offensive Player of the Week accolades prior to suffering a season-ending injury.
Hobbs spent two seasons at Marshall, first as an offensive quality control coach before being promoted to an offensive graduate assistant, working primarily with wide receivers. He helped tutor First Team All-Conference USA selection Tyre Brady, who recorded 942 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on the season. Marshall’s 2017 campaign ended with a victory in the New Mexico Bowl.
Hobbs began his collegiate playing career at Chowan University in Murfreesboro, N.C., in 2012, appearing in three games at quarterback. The following year, he transferred to Florida International to finish his bachelor’s degree before parlaying his experience into the administrative and later coaching side of the game. He joined the Panthers’ football video operations staff before later taking a position as an offensive quality control coach at FIU for the 2014 and 2015 seasons to begin his coaching career.
During his time on staff at his alma mater, Hobbs worked with the quarterback and wide receiver positions while also helping with film analysis and opponent scouting reports. He left FIU to join Elizabeth City State University as an offensive assistant coach and assistant recruiting coordinator in February of 2016 before moving to Huntington, W.Va., prior to the start of the 2016 season.
Originally from Corapeake, N.C., Hobbs graduated from Gates County High as a three-sport student-athlete, earning all-conference and all-area honors in football, basketball and baseball for the Red Barons.
He graduated from Florida International with a bachelor’s in Recreation and Sport Management and earned a pair of master’s, first in Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Sport Management from North Carolina State and in Adult and Continuing Education from Marshall. Hobbs and his wife, Kaitlin, (married April 29th, 2023, in Nags Head, N.C.) reside in Manchester, Tenn.
