Offensive Line
1st Year
Utah alumnus Jordan Gross has been tabbed to coach the team's offensive line, joining Morgan Scalley's staff in January 2026. Gross lettered with the Utes from 1999-2002 and has spent the last four seasons as head coach at Fruitland High School in Idaho.
Gross' 2025 Fruitland squad went 10-1 and won the Snake River Valley Conference title. His team was bolstered up front by five-star recruit Kelvin Obot, who signed with Utah in December 2025 as the top player in Idaho and the No. 4 offensive tackle in the country.
Gross played his entire 11-year professional career (2003-13) with the Carolina Panthers, after being selected eighth overall by the Panthers in the 2003 NFL Draft. He helped the team to a Super Bowl appearance as a rookie and totaled 167 appearances and starts over his career. It was the most starts of any player in franchise history and fourth-most games played. He protected for the likes of Jake Delhomme, Cam Newton, Vinny Testaverde and David Carr.
One of Carolina's most consistent linemen in franchise history, his 167 games are the most of any lineman. He played in nine playoff games as a Panther, tied for the third-most playoff appearances in franchise history.
With Gross in the trenches, Carolina racked up 22,138 rushing yards—ranking fifth-most in the NFL over his 11 seasons. He was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and earned AP All-Pro in 2008. Gross was inducted into Carolina's Hall of Honor in 2019.
Since retirement from the NFL, Gross remained around the Panthers as a television and radio analyst. He has been a part of the radio broadcast team as a color analyst and a host of the weekly Jordan and Jake podcast with Jake Delhomme.
As a player at Utah, Gross became the program's first Outland Trophy finalist in 2002 as well as the first Utah offensive lineman to earn consensus All-American. He was a three-time Mountain West All-Mountain West selection (2000-02) and was named to the league's 10th Anniversary Team.
Gross and his wife, Dana, who also graduated from the U, have three children, Boone, Rainey and Teddy.
