TULSA, Okla. ––University of Tulsa first-year head football coach Kevin Wilson announced the appointment of Greg Frey as tight ends coach for the Golden Hurricane.

Frey (pronounced Fry) brings with him a vast amount of coaching experience at the collegiate level in a career that started in 1996, spending 15 of those seasons at Power 5 institutions. He has helped more than 21 student-athletes to NFL careers and mentored 21 all-conference honorees. His coaching stints include at Duke, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia and South Florida.

Frey comes to Tulsa following one season at South Alabama as a quality control analyst on the defensive side of the ball for the Jaguars.

Before his stint at USA, Frey spent two seasons at Duke (2020-21) coaching the offensive line and adding the duties of offensive recruiting coordinator in January of 2021.

During his first year on Duke’s staff, Frey had the tough task of coaching three different starting centers after two season-ending injuries and tutored true freshman Graham Barton, who moved in that starting role, to Freshman All-America honors by The Athletic.

Frey went to Duke after a one-season stint (2019) at Florida as a quality control analyst.

Prior to his time with the Gators, Frey served one season (2018) as the run game coordinator and offensive line coach at his alma mater, Florida State, where he was a member of the Seminoles’ 1993 national championship team. Under Frey’s direction, the Florida State line blocked for an offense that compiled 4,334 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2018.

Frey spent the 2017 season as Michigan’s run game coordinator, while also coaching the tackles and tight ends. It was his first of two coaching stints at Michigan. That season, Frey’s group helped the Wolverines rank fourth in the Big Ten in rushing by averaging 177.7 yards per game on the ground with 26 rushing touchdowns. Also in 2017, the Michigan tight ends combined to catch 54 passes for 697 yards and five touchdowns. Sean McKeon led the Wolverines in receiving with 31 receptions for 301 yards and hauled in a team-high three touchdowns, while Zach Gentry was second on the team with 303 receiving yards on 17 receptions with two scores.

From 2011-16, Frey spent six years on Kevin Wilson’s coaching staff at Indiana as the school’s offensive line coach. With the Hoosiers, he also served as the run game coordinator for the 2012 and 2013, co-offensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015 and assistant head coach in 2016. In 2015, Frey was nominated for the prestigious Broyles Award, an honor presented annually to college football’s top assistant coach.

While with the Hoosiers, Frey mentored some of the best offensive lines in Indiana gridiron history. Guard Dan Feeney was a two-time All-America selection and tackle Jason Spriggs earned first-team All-America status as well and becoming the program’s first Outland Trophy semifinalist in 2015.

In 2015, Frey’s offensive line blocked for one of the most prolific and balanced offenses in NCAA history as Indiana became just the fourth FBS team with one 3,500-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and one 1,000-yard receiver. In addition, the Hoosiers became the first Big Ten team since Ohio State in 1995 to lead the conference in total offense, scoring offense and passing offense.

Frey spent three seasons (2008-10) as the offensive line coach at Michigan and helped the Wolverines amass a school-record and Big Ten-leading 6,353 total offensive yards in 2010. The Wolverines boasted a balanced attack that year by averaging 250.2 passing yards and 238.5 rushing yards per game.

In 2007, Frey served as the offensive line coach at West Virginia and helped the Mountaineers to an 11-2 overall record, the Big East Championship and a Fiesta Bowl victory.

Frey spent the first 11 years (1996-06) of his collegiate coaching career as part of the first staff at South Florida, which began its program in 1997. After spending three seasons as a graduate assistant and serving as the Bulls’ defensive line coach in 1999, Frey shifted to the offensive line for his final seven seasons in Tampa. In his time with South Florida, the Bulls were 70-43 and participated in the first two bowl games in program history.

Frey lettered three seasons (1993-95) as an offensive lineman at Florida State, helping the Seminoles post a three-year ledger of 32-4-1, while capturing the 1993 National Championship and winning three ACC championships, posting three bowl wins and three top-5 finishes in the Associated Press national poll.

A native of Clearwater, Fla., Frey graduated from Florida State in 1996 with degrees in interdisciplinary social science and political science. He and his wife, Andrea, have two sons, Cameron and Drew.
