Ryan Wilson comes to University City after two seasons at the University of New Hampshire as the offensive line coach. During the 2025 season, Wilson led an OL that allowed the quarterbacks room to complete 228 of 376 passes.

Wilson arrived in Durham from Saint Francis University, where he coached the offensive line. In 2023, he mentored a pair of All-NEC First Team linemen, Bailey Iboleon and Seth Osborne. Wilson’s offensive line ranked second in the NEC with 360.1 total yards of offense per game. The unit also paved the way for 168.6 rushing yards per game, which ranked third in the NEC.

In 2022, the Saint Francis offensive line led the NEC with an FCS 11th-ranked 13 sacks allowed. The unit paved the way for an offense that set a program record in total touchdowns (54), passing touchdowns (30), and total points (431). The team produced an NEC best 246.7 passing yards per game and second-ranked 182.2 rushing yards per game behind the line.

Center Seth Osborne and tackle Tre'Quan Dorsey were both named All-NEC First Team selections, and guard Bailey Iboleon was named to the All-NEC Second Team. Dorsey was also selected 17th overall in the 2023 USFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Maulers.

During the 2021 season, Saint Francis gave up the third-fewest sacks in the NEC (23). The offensive line also paved the way for two players' 100-yard rushing performances. Center Seth Osborne was named to the All-NEC Second Team.

In his first season, Wilson's unit allowed just 18 sacks, the third fewest in the NEC, while redshirt senior Christian Eubanks garnered First Team All-NEC honors.

The SFU offense averaged 33.3 ppg over its final six games, scoring over 30 in five of the last six. The offensive line's ability to protect quarterback Jason Brown allowed him to have a record-setting season as SFU led the NEC in passing offense (260.1 ypg). The 4,334 yards of total offense were the most by an SFU offense since 2005.

Wilson previously worked at the University at Buffalo, where he was a graduate assistant offensive line coach. Wilson was a four-year starter for Edinboro University, where he was also a two-year captain. He also has coaching stops at Utica College and the University of Rochester.
