Jordan Remsza is entering his fourth season at UWF as Defensive Backs Coach and Special Teams Coordinator after returning to Pensacola in December 2022.
Defensively, Remsza has been a key architect of UWF’s national success. Under his direction, the Argos have consistently ranked among the nation’s best in total yards per play allowed, passing yards per play, sacks, tackles for loss, forced fumbles, and third-down defense. In 2025, UWF ranked #11 nationally in total defense and #1 in the GSC, while also finishing #8 nationally in turnovers gained (26) and #3 nationally in third-down conversion defense, leading the conference in both categories. His secondary has produced multiple All-Conference, All-Region, and All-American performers.
On special teams, Remsza has built one of the most explosive and efficient units in Division II. In 2025, UWF ranked among the nation’s best across multiple special teams categories:
- Punt Average — #15 nationally
- Net Punt Average — #17 nationally
- Punt Return TDs — #1 in the GSC
- Blocked Punts — #4 nationally
- Net Kickoff Average — #1 in the GSC
Under his guidance, UWF has broken multiple school records in punt return average, kickoff return average, punt return touchdowns, and punt return yards in both single-season and single-game categories, while also placing among the top of the GSC record books in several special teams metrics.
