Jay MacIntyre is entering his third season as wide receivers coach in 2023 after joining the staff last season following a stint at UT Martin and a successful playing career at the University of Colorado.
MacIntyre spent two seasons as the wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator at UT Martin, where he helped guide the top passing offensive in the Ohio Valley Conference. UT Martin led the OVC in passing offense (258.9 yards) while featuring a pair of All-OVC honorees at the wide receiver position.
In an abbreviated 2020 campaign, the Skyhawks wide receiving core posted a huge year. UT Martin led the OVC in passing offense (258.9 yards) while featuring a pair of All-OVC honorees from Colton Dowell and Donnell Williams. Dowell ranked amongst OVC leaders in receptions (40, first), receiving yards (459, second), touchdowns (four, second), receptions per game (5.7, second) and receiving yards per game (65.6, third). Williams also ranked amongst the league's elite in receiving yards per game (74.2, second), receiving yards (445, fourth), receptions per game (4.88, fifth), receptions (29, seventh), touchdowns (three, seventh) and yards per catch (15.3, ninth).
Before UT Martin, MacIntyre spent the 2019 campaign in a similar role at Southeastern (Fla.) University. While with the Fire, the passing game was dynamic in an offense which averaged 43.5 points per game. The passing game averaged 304.5 yards per game while receivers averaged 15.5 yards per reception and tallied 28 touchdowns. In total, eight different receivers eclipsed 100 receiving yards on the season.
Prior to joining the coaching profession, MacIntyre wrapped up an illustrious four-year career at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He finished 26th all-time in career receptions with 86 and 30th with 1,035 receiving yards.
Voted as team captain for his senior year, he also won the Ceal Barry Leadership Award for “inspiring others through exemplary commitment, composure and integrity.” He also received the Iron Buffalo Award which “recognizes hard work, dedication, toughness and total lifting performance.”
MacIntyre graduated from Colorado with a bachelor’s degree in communications and a minor in leadership in 2018. He also served on the leadership board in Boulder for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, where he helped launch a FCA group on his campus.
