Jake Schoonover serves as Assistant Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator/Nickelbacks for University of Mississippi's Football program in University, Mississippi. Jake Schoonover enters 2025 in his third season at Ole Miss, serving as the assistant head coach, special teams coordinator and nickelbacks coach. Schoonover's special teams unit was highlighted by an all-around excellent kicking game in 2024, with All-American senior kicker Caden Davis and fellow senior and punter Fraser Masin leading the way.
Davis, a first team All-American by the College Football Network, broke Ole Miss single-season records in both total points scored and points kicking with 129 on the season after going 24-of-29 on field goals and 57-of-59 on PATs -- including an Ole Miss single-game record 10-of-10 line against Furman. Davis left Ole Miss as its career record holder in 50-yard field goals (4), and in 2024 led the nation with 82 touchbacks.
