About the Coach

Jeremy LaPan

With over a decade of collegiate coaching experience, I’ve specialized in developing players at multiple positions on both sides of the ball. I’ve coached Quarterbacks, tight ends, special teams, Offensive line, and Linebackers. I’ve helped develop multiple All-Americans, including Lou Groza and Ray Guy Award winners, and coached one of the nation’s top-ranked offenses at Sacramento State.

I’m passionate about giving back to players the same way my coaches invested in me. For me, it’s always about providing the best possible experience for the players. I strive to develop competitive, value-driven athletes while creating an environment where players feel safe, valued, and empowered to thrive.
