TicketsNate Letton enters his first season as Cincinnati's tight ends coach in 2022. He served as an offensive graduate assistant for the Bearcats from 2020 to 2021.
Letton's two seasons as a graduate assistant coincided with arguably the greatest two-year stretch in UC football history. The Bearcats recorded a 22-2 record with two American Athletic Conference Championships and two New Year's Six Bowl berths, including the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. Letton worked closely with the offensive line, which had all five starters collect All-AAC honors in 2021.
The Cincinnati offense broke school records for touchdowns (70) and points scored (516) in 2021.
UC also ranked second in the AAC and 11th nationally in scoring (36.5) and led the conference and ranked No. 9 overall in yards per play (6.7). The 2020 offense was impressive as well, ranking 19th nationally in total offense and 15th in scoring offense.
Before joining the UC staff, Letton coached at his alma mater, Centre College, from 2015 to 2019. He coached wide receivers in 2015 and tight ends in 2016 before coaching the offensive line for three seasons.
In 2018, he helped Centre go 10-2 and capture the SAA Championship while advancing to the NCAA Division III Playoffs. He mentored Drew Yeager to All-America honors as the offensive line paced Centre to 471 yards per game and 41.9 points per game. In 2017, all five of his offensive linemen captured All-SAA honors.
Letton is a Lexington, Ky., native. He graduated from Centre in 2015 with a degree in biology and a minor in education. He snagged All-SAA Honorable Mention accolades in 2014 by registering 67 tackles from his linebacker position and leading Centre to an undefeated regular season and conference title
