Howard Payne offensive coordinator leaving for FCS position

Sources confirmed to Dave Campbell's that Howard Payne offensive coordinator Brad Wilson is leaving the Yellow Jackets for an opportunity to serve as the quarterbacks coach with an FCS program out of state. Wilson arrived in Brownwood in January 2023 after spending the 2022 campaign as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Sul Ross State.

Wilson continued HPU’s offensive success during his lone season with the program. The Yellow Jackets produced 34.4 points per game while gaining 4,591 total yards and 46 touchdowns, which propelled HPU to a 6-4 overall record and a 3-3 mark in the American Southwest Conference.
