Tennessee State Names Travis Partridge Offensive Coordinator

Tennessee State named Travis Partridge as the offensive coordinator for the Tigers. He will replace Tyler Roehl, who accepted the same role at Iowa State after only a month with the Tigers.

Partridge has been the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UT Martin for the past two seasons. Last season, under Partridge, the Skyhawks led the Big South-OVC in scoring offense (31.7) and total offense (439.5). 

Partridge served as the interim quarterbacks coach at Kansas in 2021. He also was an offensive quality control coach from 2019-20. Before his stint at Kansas, Partridge was a graduate assistant at Delta State in 2017.
