Corey Dennis was officially announced as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for UNLV on Jan. 3, 2025.
Dennis most recently served as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Tulsa for the 2024 season.
Dennis came up through the coaching ranks from Ohio State where he spent nine seasons, including the last five as quarterbacks coach. After taking the lead of the Buckeyes’ quarterback room in 2020, he helped produce three Heisman finalists and future NFL First Round draft picks in 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud, Justin Fields and the late Dwayne Haskins.
Named to the 247Sports 30-under-30 list in 2021, Dennis also served as senior quality control coach for two years (2018-19). In that position, he was involved in game planning, practice planning and daily organization with the wide receiver and QB units.
During his time on the OSU coaching staff, Dennis was part of four Big Ten championship teams and victories in the 2022 Rose Bowl, 2020 Fiesta Bowl, 2018 Cotton Bowl and 2016 Fiesta Bowl.
Dennis began his career on the Buckeye staff as an intern just before the 2015 spring season and a graduate assistant from 2016-17. A four-year letterwinner at Georgia Tech, he played in all 54 games as receiver, in the secondary and on special teams for Yellow Jacket squads that won two ACC Coastal Division titles and appeared in four bowl games.
He graduated from Georgia Tech in 2014 with his degree in business administration and later earned his master’s degree in sports management from Ohio State in 2017. He and his wife, Nicki, have two sons, Troy and Gray, and a daughter, Savannah.
