Kenny Guiton comes to Colorado State after a season at Louisiana Tech; Booth played for and coached with Addazio previously.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State has added two more coaches to the offensive staff room with the additions of Kenny Guiton (wide receivers) and Cody Booth (tight ends), the program announced on Tuesday.
Guiton, a two-time captain during his playing days at Ohio State, comes to Colorado State following two seasons coaching wide receivers at Houston (2017-18) and one season with the outside wide receivers at Louisiana Tech (2019) where he developed some of the nation's top receivers in explosive offenses.
In his lone season at Louisiana Tech, Guiton's receiving corps was a part of Conference USA's No. 4 ranked passing offense (268.5) as he developed receivers Adrian Hardy and Malik Stanley into All-Conference USA honorable mention performers. Louisiana Tech, known for operation an offense under head coach Skip Holtz that distributes the ball across the field, was also the only school in Conference USA to have four or more receivers average at least 30 yards per game with three of those receivers, Hardy, Stanley, and Isaiah Graham, coming from Guiton's outside receivers room.
Louisiana Tech also ranked No. 2 in scoring offense in C-USA in 2019 at 32.5 points per game, a year removed – without Guiton – from averaging just 24.7 points and ranking No. 9. It was also their highest ranking as a scoring offense since 2016.
Prior to his one season in Ruston, Guiton's two seasons at Houston coincided with explosive offenses yet again. Working alongside head coach Major Applewhite, the 2018 Cougar offense ranked No. 5 nationally in scoring offense at 43.9 points per game and No. 7 nationally in total offense at 512.5 yards per game. That season, the Cougars scored at least 30 points in all 12 regular-season games and eclipsed 40 points in 10 of those matchups.
Guiton developed then-sophomore Marquez Stevenson to All-American Athletic Conference honors when he posted 75 receptions for 1,019 yards and nine touchdowns. Fellow receiver Keith Corbin tallied 40 receptions for 691 yards as the Cougars were one of just two AAC programs (SMU) to have a pair of receivers rank in the Top 10 among AAC players in receiving yards per game.
In 2017, receiver Steven Dunbar earned All-AAC honorable mention honors after putting together a 1,000-yard season for the Cougars and ranking No. 5 in the conference for receiving yards (76 for 1,070).
Booth, entering his first season as a full-time assistant coach, previously worked with Addazio as a graduate assistant at Boston College and played for CSU's head coach at Temple.
A former walk-on for the Owls, Booth was a four-year letterman and spent three years as a tight end before converting to the offensive line as a senior in 2013. That move proved valuable as Booth spent three years in the NFL as an offensive tackle with the Chicago Bears (2014), Jacksonville Jaguars (2014-15), and Washington Redskins (2016).
After his playing career concluded, Booth returned to Temple as an offensive graduate assistant in 2017 and 2018 and spent the 2019 season as an offensive graduate assistant for Addazio at Boston College.
