The first-year wide receiver coach was named as one of the top young assistants in college football.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State wide receiver coach Kenny Guiton was named to 247Sports.com's "30Under30" list as one of the nation's top young assistant football coaches.
The 29-year-old Guiton, who enters his first season in Fort Collins after one season at Louisiana Tech, played quarterback at Ohio State where he was a two-time captain for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Since graduating with his degree, he has quickly ascended in the coaching profession.
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 operating 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 spent two seasons at Houston which 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).
