PRO: Signed with Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He attended camp with the Colts before joining the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas. He went on to play eight games for the Brahmas, throwing for 1,403 yards and six touchdowns. Following the 2023 season, he had tryouts with the San Fransisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.  

COLLEGE: Coan played his senior season at Notre Dame, after transferring from Wisconsin in spring of 2021.

In 2022, he set Fiesta Bowl records for passing yards (509) and passing touchdowns (5). He was also named Phil Steele All-Independent Second Team and was a Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Honourable Mention. Notably, the New York-born signal-caller went viral in 2021 when he threw the game-winning touchdown against Toledo immediately after his dislocated finger was popped back into place on the sideline. Prior to attending Notre Dame, Coan spent four seasons (2017 to 2020) at the University of Wisconsin. He played in 25 games with 18 starts at quarterback, earning 3,278 passing yards and 23 touchdowns while adding four rushing touchdowns. In 2019, he was an All-Big Ten Honourable Mention after throwing for 2,727 yards, the third-highest single-season total in U of W history.

FAST FACT: Initially, Coan committed to play lacrosse at Notre Dame before football took him to the University of Wisconsin. He eventually did play for the Fighting Irish — as a senior member of the football team.
