Deuce Hogan's football path was never one-dimensional. He entered college as one of the nation's highly regarded pro-style quarterbacks, then experienced the position from nearly every seat in the room.
He learned at Iowa. He prepared in the SEC at Kentucky behind future NFL quarterbacks. He fought back from a season-ending injury at New Mexico State. At Nicholls, he returned healthy and made his most extended run as a college starter.
Along the way, he learned four collegiate offensive systems, worked with different coaching staffs and teammates, and discovered that quarterback development is as much about preparation, decision-making, resilience and leadership as arm talent.
Deuce has coached and instructed quarterbacks through college football, camps and private development. His experience includes work at the Manning Passing Academy and alongside longtime quarterback trainer and former NFL quarterback Jeff Christensen.
Efficient movement, release, base and repeatable fundamentals built around the individual quarterback.
Connecting feet to eyes and arm while learning to move, reset and deliver from the pocket.
Learning why a play works, what the defense is showing and where the football should go.
Developing the habits to see the game before the snap and learn from every rep afterward.
Practice habits, weekly preparation and the details required to prepare like a college quarterback.
Understanding the responsibility that comes with playing quarterback — in the huddle, meeting room and locker room.
Deuce Hogan entered college as a nationally ranked pro-style quarterback from Texas. His career took him through the Big Ten, SEC, Conference USA and Southland Conference, giving him experience inside four programs, four offensive systems and very different quarterback rooms.
At Kentucky he prepared behind Will Levis and Devin Leary. At New Mexico State, a broken collarbone cut short his 2024 season. He returned in 2025 at Nicholls, where he made his most extended run as a starter. The playing journey now forms the foundation for his work coaching and developing quarterbacks.

A quarterback is more than what shows up on film.
Deuce has been fortunate to learn from coaches and mentors who have seen him in the weight room, in the meeting room, on the field, and in the locker room.
For coaches who would like to learn more about Deuce — his character, work ethic, leadership, and ability as a quarterback — every single coach he has ever played for, knows him well and can speak to those things firsthand:
Deuce is thankful for the opportunity to have learned from each of them.
Deuce Hogan is a traditional pro-style quarterback with the size and physical profile to operate an NFL-style offense. He entered college as a highly regarded four-star quarterback and the No. 15 pro-style quarterback in the 2020 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.
His collegiate path includes Iowa, Kentucky, New Mexico State and Nicholls, giving him experience across multiple college football environments. At Kentucky he prepared daily in a pro-style offense behind two consecutive NFL quarterbacks. At Nicholls he made his most extended run as a starter — nine games, 1,046 passing yards, 60.6% completions, a 106.6 rating and 116.2 yards per game.
With one year of eligibility remaining, Hogan is looking for the right program and a quarterback room he can strengthen — as an experienced veteran, not as a guaranteed starter.
6'4", 220 pounds. Prototypical pro-style build — the height to see over an interior rush and the mass to work from the pocket.
Four programs, four coaching staffs, four playbooks. Has installed and operated offenses at the Big Ten, SEC, C-USA and FCS levels.
Two seasons in Kentucky's pro-style offense behind Will Levis and Devin Leary — NFL meeting rooms, NFL install language, SEC-speed reps.
Graduate quarterback, one year of eligibility remaining. Available now, ready to enroll and add value to a quarterback room immediately.
Deuce Hogan was hand-selected as one of only three quarterbacks in America profiled for Season 4 of the acclaimed Peter Berg documentary series. His two co-stars are now NFL quarterbacks.
Coached by his father, Kris Hogan, at Faith Christian School. Four-year letter winner. All-state and all-district honors as a senior. Chose Iowa over offers from Tennessee, Georgia, Baylor, Boston College, Colorado, Houston, Iowa State, Louisiana Tech and others.
Signed as a 4-star recruit. Redshirted in 2020; saw game action in 2021. Earned the Hawkeye Team Leader Award — recognized for leadership among all Hawkeye players.
This is the job he is offering to do again — and he has already done it in the SEC. Two years in a pro-style NFL offense behind Will Levis (Titans) and Devin Leary (Eagles/Chiefs). Daily SEC-level reps, film and coaching. Completed 6-of-7 when called on in the bowl game.
In the starting mix before a broken collarbone in Week 3 Season Ended ended the year. Rehabbed, returned, and played a full season in 2025.
Most extended run as a starter — 116.2 yds/game. Current live game tape; healthy and ready to play now. Staff later moved to a running quarterback behind protection concerns up front — a scheme decision, not a performance one.
Over three seasons and dozens of camps, Deuce has served as a passing coach at summer programs across the country — including the Manning Passing Academy. He has worked alongside Jeff Christensen — former NFL quarterback (Bengals, Rams, Eagles, Browns, Jets, Broncos) and founder of Throw It Deep, the trainer credited with developing Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, and Trey Lance — developing quarterbacks at all levels.
The people who know quarterback play best have trusted Deuce with their athletes for years. His playing experience now informs the way he teaches the position: mechanics, preparation, football intelligence, resilience and leadership.
