Former Auburn quarterback and wide receiver Jonathan Wallace is now joining the Air Force coaching staff as the program's new tight end coach, the school announced on Tuesday.
Wallace spent a total of six years at Auburn, four as a player from 2012 to 2015 and two as a graduate assistant working with wide receivers. Most recently, taking a coaching position at Bethel University in 2018 where he took on the role of wide receivers coach and as the director of football operations.
Wallace saw limited snaps while at Auburn with the majority of his playing time coming during the 3-9 2012 season. Wallace started the final four games of the season for the Tigers and currently owns the freshmen record in quarterback efficiency with a rating of 139.60.
Following the 2012 season, Wallace would only throw five combined passes in his next three seasons and did not record a single offensive stat in his senior season at quarterback or wide receiver.
After his playing career was over, Wallace would join the coaching staff at Auburn as a graduate assistant before the 2016 season. Then in 2018, Wallace was hired as the wide receiver coach at Bethel where the team finished 11-2.
Wallace joins an Air Force team that has gone 5-7 in both of their last two seasons under head coach Troy Calhoun. He will look to make an immediate impact with the team.
