Tyler Hudanick was named the Bull’s offensive line coach in December of 2022, joining head coach Alex Golesh’s first USF football staff. In February of 2024 he was promoted, adding run game coordinator to his offensive line coaching duties.
Hudanick, a former UCF offensive lineman, previously worked with Golesh on coaching staffs at Tennessee and UCF assisting in directing high-powered offenses.
In his first season at USF, he helped the Bulls produce 12 team and 16 individual records as USF capped the biggest turnaround in program history (a six-win improvement) with a 45-0 rout of Syracuse in the Boca Raton Bowl. USF ranked No. 17 nationally in total offense (451.6 ypg) and tallied 5,871 yards, the third-best mark in program history.
Florida State transfer Zane Herring earned All-AAC honorable mention selection in his first season with the Bulls as USF integrated three new starters into the offensive line. The Bulls produced 415 points, the fifth-best mark in program history, and ran for 182.8 ypg (2,377 yards) to rank third in the AAC while setting team records for pass yards (3,494), pass completions (287), completion percentage (64.1), touchdown passes (27) and offensive plays (1,028).
Hudanick was most recently a graduate assistant at Tennessee (2021-22) working with the offensive line on Josh Heupel’s staff, where he worked with Golesh who was serving as the offensive coordinator for the nation’s most explosive offense. The Vols improved a scoring offense that skyrocketed 107 spots from 108th in the country in 2020 to seventh in 2021 and first in 2022. In 2022, Tennessee posted 10 wins and a No. 6 College Football Playoff ranking as the UT offense ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring (47.33), yards per game (538.1), points per possession (3.24) and yards per play (7.35).
Hudanick worked for two seasons at UCF (2019-20), starting as a volunteer quality control assistant (2019) and transitioning to an offensive graduate assistant (2020) on Heupel’s staff. In 2020, he worked with co-offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Golesh on an offense that saw the Knights rank second in FBS football in total offense (568.1), fourth in passing offense (357.4), seventh in total passing yards (3,574) and eighth in scoring offense (42.2).
Hudanick was a member UCF's 2017 and 2018 American Athletic Conference Championship teams and the 2018 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl winning team. He started 28 games in his career on the offensive line for the Knights, helping the team to set a new program record for single-season rushing in 2018.
