Texas State are set to make a pair of offensive hires for the program’s 2025 staff.

Keopple helped develop 51 Great American Conference selections in the last seven years and helped a quarterback earn all-conference in eight straight seasons.

Along with Keopple, Kinne is naming Stephen F. Austin’s Randy Martinez as the team’s wide receivers coach.

After leaving Texas State in January 2024 to take the role as the Lumberjacks’ running backs coach, but spent the 2023 season in an administrative role as the Bobcats’ recruiting operations coordinator.

Prior to that stint with the Bobcats, Martinez was the special teams coordinator, running backs/tight ends coach, and recruiting coordinator for Texas high school powerhouse Duncanville High School (TX) for two years from 2021 to 2022. He helped Duncanville win the 6A Division I state championship in 2022.
 
The native Texan started his career as a student assistant coach at Sam Houston State, working with the offensive line (2017-18) and tight ends (2018-19).
