Colin Ferrell is San Diego State's defensive edges coach after two seasons coaching the defensive line at Rutgers. In 2024, he helped the Scarlet Knights earn a winning season and a Rate Bowl invitation, while Kyonte Hamilton and Aaron Lewis received honorable-mention all-Big Ten honors and Hamilton was later selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Ferrell previously spent 11 seasons at Kent State, including all five seasons when Sean Lewis was head coach. He coached defensive linemen, outside linebackers and graduate assistants there, mentored multiple all-MAC defensive linemen and was part of Kent State's first bowl win in 2019. A former Kent State defensive lineman, Ferrell was an all-MAC first-team selection, team captain and finished his playing career among the program leaders in tackles for loss.
