Jayson Martin was named UWG's offensive coordinator and Associate Head Coach just days after Steve Englehart was appointed as UWG's head football coach in December of 2025. Martin and Englehart have worked together for well over a decade with UWG being their fourth stop together. At all three previous stops, Martin has coached a conference player of the year including a pair of those selections at Florida Tech. 

Martin was the OC at Presbyterian under Englehart and led the Blue Hose offense to finish ranked 27th in all of FCS football in total offense while they ranked 16th in the country in scoring offense (34.4/gm). 

In between stints on Englehart's staff at PC and Florida Tech, Martin was the OC at Gannon University for one season in 2020. In his lone season at Gannon, he had a pair of All-PSAC First-Team all-conference honorees in running back Melvin Blanks and guard Montana Nietert. 

At FIT, Martin was the Panthers' OC all seven seasons. In 2016, the Panthers offense led the Gulf South Conference and ranked 23rd in the country in scoring offense (37.4/gm). 

Florida Tech reached the NCAA Division II Playoffs twice during his tenure with the Panthers. In 2020, Martin had a pair of former players, wide receiver Xavier Milton and tight end Kenny Johnston, earn selections on the Gulf South's All-Decade team.  

In total over seven seasons, he coached 30 All-Gulf South selections and five all-Americans. 

Martin was also alongside Englehart early in their careers at Rose-Hulman. While there, he engineered the offense that over three seasons finished no worse than top three in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 2009, the school led the league in scoring offense (36.5/gm), and total offense (428.2/gm) all while guiding Derek Eitel to the league's MVP honor. During that same season the offense broke Rose-Hulman program records for points scored (365), total offense (4,282), passing yards (2,849) and touchdowns (73). 

As a player, he was a four-year member of Kentucky State's program as the quarterback from 1996-2000. He helped lead the Thorobreds to a Pioneer Bowl berth in 1997. Academically, he graduated from Kentucky State with a Bachelor's in Education in 2001.
