Kevin Hoyng

Kevin Hoyng is in his third season as the University of Dayton's passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Hoyng was a record-breaking quarterback for the Flyers from 2003-07. A two-time captain, he holds the Flyer career records for total yardage (9,528), passing yards (8,862), and touchdown passes (59).

The PFL’s Offensive Player of the Year, Hoyng was the quarterback and MVP for the Dayton team that won the PFL, defeated Albany in the Gridiron Classic bowl game, and won the NCAA I-AA Mid-Major national championship in 2007. He was First Team Academic All-PFL three times.

After graduating from Dayton in December of 2007 and participating in the Cleveland Browns’ rookie mini-camp as a defensive back in 2008, Hoyng spent one year as a teacher and high school assistant coach in the Northmont School District near Dayton.

He began his college coaching career at UD in 2009, and spent five seasons on the Flyer staff – three coaching tight ends and two coaching quarterbacks -- before serving as Wittenberg University’s offensive coordinator in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

When Hoyng returned to UD in 2017, he took over for his own position coach, UD Hall of Famer Dave Whilding.  Whilding had a knack of taking relatively inexperienced quarterbacks and molding them into productive leaders.  Hoyng is carrying on that tradition.  A perfect example is last season, where an injury put redshirt freshman Jack Cook under center a year ahead of schedule and Cook was named PFL Offensive Freshman of the Year.

Hoyng is a native of Coldwater, Ohio.
