Brian Mohnsen Defensive Line Coach Fourth Season Email: bmohnsen@buffalo.edu Phone: 716-645-7909 Office: 104 Stadium

Brian Mohnsen begins his fourth season at Buffalo. He will coach the defensive line this year after working exclusively with the Bulls’ defensive ends last season.  

As defensive ends coach, Mohnsen aided in the development of All-MAC defensive end Trevor Scott, who had 10 sacks, 15 tackles for loss and seven quarterback hurries en route to finishing runner up in the voting for MAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2007. Trevor Scott was drafted in the sixth round by the Oakland Raiders.

As linebackers coach in 2006, his impact was seen immediately in his first season as the Bulls top three leaders in the tackles per game category were all linebackers. Mohnsen coached former Bull linebacker Ramon Guzman, who played for the Indianapolis Colts in 2007.

Mohnsen came to UB after serving as the defensive line coach at Minnesota State-Mankato. In 2004, he was the defensive coordinator at Northwestern Oklahoma State, leading the defense to a second place ranking nationally in total defense and pass defense, third in rushing defense and fifth in scoring defense.

Mohnsen spent 12 years at Nebraska (1992-2003), serving as director of the Cornhuskers’ video scouting department while assisting with game day management for both home and away games.

During the 1991 season, Mohnsen started in his career as an undergraduate coach working with the defensive linemen and linebackers at Nebraska. From 1987-90, Mohnsen was a member of the Cornhusker football program as a defensive end and a linebacker.

A native of McCook, NE, he graduated from Nebraska with a bachelor’s degree in education in 1991. He and his wife Kerri have a daughter named Madison (14).
