Otha Yarborough enters his second season as an offensive quality control assistant.
Yarborough’s first year in Williamsburg produced numerous highlights, as the Tribe averaged nearly 30 points per game (29.5). The impressive figure marked the program’s second-highest offensive scoring output in the last 10 years. Additionally, W&M led the nation in fewest turnovers lost (6) and ranked ninth in red zone offense (91.1). Additionally, the Green & Gold ranked third in the CAA in third down conversions (43.3).
A number of individual standouts also thrived on the offensive side of the ball, as All-America offensive lineman Ryan McKenna led a group of six Tribe standouts who earned all-conference accolades. Quarterback Tyler Hughes distinguished himself among the group, as he became the first player in school history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 600 yards in the same season. Additionally, Hughes totaled a school-record 266 consecutive passes without an interception.
Yarborough joined W&M’s coaching staff after a season as the offensive coordinator at Misericordia University. Prior coaching stops include Clark Atlanta University, Bates College, and Colby College. He also interned for three seasons as a student assistant with Georgia State Football.
Yarborough completed his undergraduate studies at Georgia State University in 2018 with a degree in African American Studies.
