Bringing a wealth of coaching knowledge and eight years of experience to the Valdosta State program, Jeremy Darveau was named the Offensive Line coach for the Blazers in 2015.
While earning a Sociology Bachelors of Science Degree, Darveau put together an impressive collegiate career at the University of Louisville. Following four successful years at the Division I level, he added to his on-field experience with the Amsterdam Admirals in NFL Europe and closed out his playing career with one year in the Arena 1 Football League as a member of the Tampa Bay Storm.
In 2008, Darveau began his coaching career at Southwest Minnesota State, where he served as a Tight End and Running Backs Graduate Assistant Coach for two years while earning a Masters Degree in Business Administration. His efforts with the program resulted in a full-time job as the Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach through the 2013 season, in which the Mustangs earned their first-ever bowl appearance. During his tenure at SMSU, Darveau helped his players rewrite both the school and conference record books with over 40 new offensive records with the program and seven new league marks.Â
Before joining the Valdosta State program, Darveau returned to the Sunshine State in 2014 as the Offensive Quality Control Coach at the University of Florida, and he continued to prove his worth after helping lead the UF offense to 12 new offensive records and a Birmingham Bowl victory to close out the year.
Throughout the duration of his coaching career, Darveau has helped train countless All-Americans, three of which he personally developed. In addition, he personally oversaw the development of nine All-Conference student-athletes.
