Jeff Myers was named Arkansas’ run game coordinator and offensive line coach by Head Coach Ryan Silverfield, joining the Razorbacks’ staff from Memphis.
Myers coached the Tigers for three seasons with Silverfield, earning the title of running game coordinator in 2024. His offensive lines were an integral part of the Tigers’ success on offense, including three-straight seasons ranking in the Top 20 nationally in scoring offense. His offensive line protected at an elite level when the Tigers won 21 games combined in 2023 and 2024 as one of just 18 teams in the country to allow fewer than 20 sacks in consecutive seasons, giving up 19 during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
This past season, Myers’ offensive line was anchored by First-Team All-American Conference lineman Travis Burke. Burke and his fellow linemen paved the way for a Tigers’ offense that averaged 420.7 yards per game while averaging 34.6 points per game. The running game was key for Memphis with 186.1 yards per game, including 77 runs of 10+ yards.
The 2024 Tigers won 11 games, capped by a Frisco Bowl victory over West Virginia, and were led by an offense that averaged a league-best 35.7 points per game. Tackle Xavier Hill earned first-team honors from the league’s coaches with guard Jonah Gambill and center Trent Holler picking up third-team recognition.
Myers’ first offensive line at Memphis paved the way for an offense that ranked sixth nationally in scoring (39.4 ppg), 10th in passing offense (306.5 ypg) and 14th in total offense (458.5 ypg). Memphis finished off the program’s fifth 10-win season with a 36-26 win over Iowa State in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
Before joining the Tigers’ staff, Myers spent seven seasons at Iowa State, the last five as the Cyclones’ offensive line coach. The Iowa State offense during his tenure were among the best in school history. Seven of his offensive linemen earned All-Big 12 honors during his time leading the unit. Julian Good-Jones (2019), Colin Newell (2020) and Trevor Downing (2021) were all named First-Team All-Big 12 while Downing was named a Freshman All-American by The Athletic in 2019 and Darrell Simmons in 2020.
The Cyclones’ offense in 2020 was elite in leading the squad to a first-place finish in the Big 12, making the Big 12 championship game and qualifying for a New Year’s Six bowl for the first time in school history – a 24-17 win over Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.
Iowa State broke the school record for total offense (444.3) and posted the third-best scoring offense (32.2) in program history in 2019 and followed it up with the second-best scoring offense (32.9) and third-best total offense (436.3) totals in Cyclone history in 2020.
In 2019, Myers was named to 247Sports 30Under30 list as one of the profession’s young, rising stars.
He began his coaching career in 2015 as a graduate assistant at Toledo before heading to Iowa State as a graduate assistant during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
Myers played at Toledo, graduating in 2014. The Massillon, Ohio native was a three-year starter on the offensive line for the Rockets, starting 38 consecutive games. He earned All-MAC honors twice and was named team captain in 2014 when Toledo went 9-4 with a GoDaddy Bowl win capping the season.
Myers and his wife, Lauren, have one daughter, Kalani.
