Adam Stenavich was named San Jose State University's offensive line coach in February 2015.
In his first season with the Spartans, Stenavich retooled an offensive line that resulted in one of the most balanced offenses in school history. San Jose State gained 2,378 yards rushing and rushed for 24 touchdowns and passed for 2,882 yards and 21 six-pointers. The 1976 Spartans are the only other San Jose State team to gain at least 2,000 yards rushing with more than 20 touchdowns and pass for 2,000 yards resulting in at least 20 touchdowns.
Individually, left tackle Wes Schweitzer was a second-team All-Mountain West player and the Atlanta Falcons sixth-round draft choice. Nate Velichko, a 2015 honorable mention All-ountain pick, started every game at right tackle after a season at right guard. Velichko’s Mmove opened up the right guard position for Chris Gonzalez, one of two new starters in the offensive line last season.
Stenavich joined the Spartans after one season at Northern Arizona University. He helped the 2014 Lumberjacks to their consecutive top-half finish in the Big Sky Conference. Northern Arizona was one of the top offensive programs in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranking 16th in passing offense and 34th in total offense. Three of his five starters earned All-Big Sky Conference honors at the end of the season.
The native of Marshfield, Wis., began his coach career in 2012 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, the University of Michigan.
As a player, Stenavich was a three-year starting left tackle and two-time, first-team All-Big Ten Conference honoree for the Wolverines. He was the recipient of the University of Michigan's 2005 Hugh H. Rader, Jr., Memorial Award as the team's best lineman. Stenavich's college career included playing for the 2003 and 2004 Wolverine teams that won Big Ten championships. Professionally, Stenavich played for the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europa in 2007. He also was a member of the NFL's Green Bay Packers (2006) and Houston Texans (2009 and 2010) practice squads.
He and his wife, Katie, are the parents of two daughters, Hadley and Maggie, and a son, Tim.
