From CU Walk-On to Elite Special Teams Coach
Paul Creighton is no longer a player—he's a highly successful special teams coordinator and tight ends coach currently at Northwestern. The Colorado native walked on at CU as a fullback/tight end before launching a coaching career that includes a 2024 CFP National Championship appearance with Washington. At Northwestern in 2025, Creighton's unit produced All-Big Ten punter Luke Akers and kicker Jack Olsen (90.5% FG%, top-10 nationally). His track record demonstrates elite-level special teams development and a proven ability to maximize player potential at the highest levels of college football.
