Jake Pollock was named Offensive Coordinator of Concordia College – Moorhead on Aug. 8, 2023. In addition to also coaching the quarterbacks, he also serves as the school's equipment manager.

The 2023 season was a solid foundation to build upon in Pollock’s first year at the helm. The Cobber offense saw Quarterback Cooper Mattern break six individual school records, and the offense as a whole break three team school records. The offense was highlighted by two All-MIAC selections, two All-MIAC Honorable Mentions, and the MIAC Rookie of the Year (Angel Reyes).

He helped with the acquisition of all the necessary information and documents required to attend a service academy. He also oversaw the flow of the Army’s recruiting on a national level and the on-campus visits of prospective cadets throughout the spring and summer months.

Prior to West Point, he was the Defensive Quality Control at Utah State University, where he was responsible for day-to-day operations amongst the defensive staff. During his time with the Aggies, Pollock helped the team navigate the 2020 COVID season which saw four members of the defense named All-MWC Honorable Mention. He handled all administrative duties for the defensive side of the ball, as well as assist with the Aggie Inside Linebackers.

Pollock also spent two seasons (2018-19) at the University of Sioux Falls. 

The 2019 season featured a NCAA playoff berth for the Cougars. Pollock mentored the Tight Ends/Fullbacks which saw Kyle Barnetche named All-NSIC. The Coo finished second in rushing and points per game while accumulating an 8-4 record.

During the 2018 season, Pollock mentored the Running Backs for the Cougars. The Cougars led the NSIC with 274.2 rush yards per game.

Watson led the country in 5 different rushing categories (Rushing Yards – 1,957; Rushing Yards per Game – 177.8; Rushing TD’s – 26; Total Points – 156; Total Touchdowns – 26) and finished second nationally in scoring (14.2 points per game). Watson finished 2018 a unanimous All-American, 5^th in the DII National Player of the Year voting, as well as breaking 5 different school records.

Paired with Watson in 2018 was Second Team All-NSIC Running Back Colton Myles. Myles finished the season sixth in the NSIC in total rushing, averaging 6.2 yards per carry with five rushing touchdowns. Both Watson and Myles were named NSIC Academic Team of Excellence (GPA of 3.6 or better) with Watson also being a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation’s Campbell Award.
