TYLER MOODY

Head Coach

Tyler Moody became the 14th head coach in TCNJ football history in March of 2025.

Moody led the Lions to a 6-4 record in his first season at the helm, giving the Lions back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since 2004. TCNJ got off to a 6-1 start, its best since 2007, and Moody and his staff coached 10 TCNJ players to All-NJAC honors.

Moody came to TCNJ after a 14-year stint at Stonehill College, where he spent nine years as offensive coordinator and the last four as associate head coach. After overseeing the offensive line for eight years, Moody completed his sixth as quarterbacks coach before departing for Ewing.

Moody brings a proven track record of strong offensive line play, continually building his units into some of the best in the Northeast-10 and developing a bevy of all-conference performers. In his first season as run game coordinator in 2013, the Skyhawks won a share of their first Northeast-10 regular season championship and ranked in the top-25 nationally in red-zone offense.

Moody is also a strong recruiter with extensive experience in identifying talent in the state of New Jersey. In each of the last nine seasons at Stonehill, at least 17 players have either hailed from the Garden State or played high school football there.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Moody takes over a program that went 6-4 in 2024, posting its first winning season in 13 years. TCNJ expects to have seven returning All-NJAC players on the roster this fall, and Moody inherits an offense that ranked fourth in Division III in passing (328.5 yards per game) and 23rd in total offense (447.7 YPG) as well as a defense that was ninth in fumble recoveries (13) and 13th in takeaways (26).

"On behalf of the entire TCNJ community, I am excited to welcome Tyler and his family to Ewing as the new head football coach," Director of Athletics Liz Shatkus said. "His dedication to enhancing the student-athlete experience, exceptional football IQ, and recruiting ties to New Jersey are exactly what is needed to continue to elevate this program. I look forward to the impact he will make both on and off the field to build a program rooted in excellence and success.

I would also like to thank Eric Jendryaszek for his leadership and commitment throughout the interim process last season. His contributions have been invaluable, and I am grateful for the energy and passion he brought to the role and excited for him to work alongside Tyler as an assistant coach."

BOBBY JONES

Offensive Coordinator

Bobby Jones joined new head coach Tyler Moody's staff as offensive coordinator in June of 2025.

Jones, who has spent time at all three NCAA divisions, returned to the Division III ranks after a year as head coach at Baltimore powerhouse Archbishop Curley High School.

"We're excited to have Coach Jones as our new Offensive Coordinator,” Moody said. “His passion for coaching driven student-athletes, championship background, and genuine understanding of the value of a TCNJ education will make him an invaluable addition to our team."

Jones led Archbishop Curley to the 2024 MIAA championship, the program’s first state title in 11 years, for which he was named Coach of the Year by the Maryland Football Foundation and Baltimore Touchdown Club. Jones was the sole recruiter for a program with 88 members, also serving as Academic Coordinator and Fundraising Coordinator in addition to operating as the team’s coordinator of offense, defense, and special teams.

Jones’ Division III resume includes stops at a pair of successful programs in his alma mater Washington and Lee as well as Springfield College. During his time at W&L (2018-23), Jones served as associate head coach and offensive coordinator, coaching the offensive line and tight ends for three years before overseeing the quarterbacks and wide receivers. Jones was the play caller in a shotgun spread choice scheme for the Generals, who won the ODAC title and played in the NCAA Tournament in 2021.

Jones coached the A backs as a graduate assistant at Springfield from 2015 to 2017, running practice, install, and film review for that position group in the program’s triple option scheme. In his third and final season, the Pride won the NEWMAC title and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Before his graduate assistantship at Springfield, Jones spent a year working in player development at Rutgers, where he helped coach the tight ends and offensive line and led film presentations to help determine potential scholarship recipients for the Scarlet Knights.

Jones was a four-year starter on the offensive line at W&L, where he was a three-time All-ODAC selection – including back-to-back first-team nods as a junior and senior – and helped pave the way for an offense that consistently ranked among the nation’s most prolific and led all of Division III in rushing yards in 2012.

Jones earned his bachelor’s in business from W&L in 2014 and a master’s in education from Springfield in 2017.
