Skyler Mornhinweg followed in his father's footsteps as standout high school signal caller then into the collegiate ranks before moving into the coaching profession.
Now, in his third season of his first full-time assistant gig, he serves under the same head coach who gave Marty Mornhinweg his first full-time shot -- Midwestern State head coach Bill Maskill.
Maskill, who hired the elder Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Southeast Missouri State in 1989, tagged the son to join his staff to also manage signal callers before naming him offensive coordinator entering the 2020 campaign.
An accomplished quarterbacking prodigy in his own right, Sky Mornhinweg was rated as a four-star recruit out of St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia before signing with the University of Florida.
Mornhinweg competed three seasons with the Gators starting the final three games of the 2013 campaign against No. 11 South Carolina, Georgia State and eventual national champion Florida State.
He transferred to Ivy League Columbia closing his collegiate career starting 10 games as a junior in 2015 before playing seven games and making two starts as a senior in 2016.
Sky Mornhinweg kicked off his coaching career as a graduate assistant helping with running backs last season at Ohio State.
His father, Marty Mornhinweg, spent the last 25 seasons as an NFL coach including as head coach of the Detroit Lions from 2001-02, while serving as an offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers (1997-00), Philadelphia Eagles (2006-12), New York Jets (2013-14) and Baltimore Ravens (2016-18).
