Jordan Pu'u-Robinson returns to be DE Assistant Coach

Post by kapakahi »

Returns from his short stint as DL Coach at The Citadel. Yoro (who coached DE/OLBs in addition to being DC last season) is likely to now coach safeties (to fill void from Josh Brown's promotion return back to UTEP).

It seemed to me that of all the GAs last year, Puu-Robinson was the most likely to get promoted to a full-time position. But there were no positions open and he got the DL job at The Citadel. Brown left and a position opened up for him. We're very fortunate to have him back. He's an up and comer.

Former University of Hawai'i defensive lineman and tight end Jordan Pu'u-Robinson joins head coach Timmy Chang's coaching staff for the 2023 season. Pu'u-Robinson will coach the defensive ends.

Pu'u-Robinson, a Wailuku, Maui native, spent two previous seasons on the Rainbow Warriors coaching staff, working with the defensive line as a graduate assistant in 2021 and with the special teams and tight ends as quality control coach last season. In January, Pu'u-Robinson earned his first full-time position at The Citadel as defensive line coach before re-joining the staff.

Pu'u-Robinson began his coaching career at Mercer as a quality control coach in 2020, assisting with the linebackers. The following year, he joined the UH coaching staff as a graduate assistant before being hired as a quality control coach in 2022 on Chang's inaugural staff.

An all-state and all-league performer at Maui's Baldwin High School, Pu'u-Robinson attended Washington State for three years (2009-11) before returning to his home state to play for the Rainbow Warriors for his final three seasons of eligibility (2012-14). He made the switch to tight end in 2013 and made seven starts as a senior in 2014, earning all-academic team honors.
