Graydon Kulick joined the PLU coaching staff in the spring of 2025 as the Lutes' quarterbacks coach, passing game coordinator, and camp coordinator.
Kulick will be the Lutes' quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator while also serving as the program's camp coordinator. Kulick comes to Luteville after two seasons as the quarterbacks coach at NCAA Division III powerhouse Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota. While with the Johnnies, Kulick helped the program compile a 19-3 record over those two seasons, winning the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title last fall and advancing to the third round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.
"We're thrilled to welcome Graydon to the PLU Football family. His passion for the game, dedication to player development, and alignment with our program's values make him the perfect addition to our staff," said McAdams.
"Graydon brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to excellence that will elevate our program both on and off the field. His humility, competence, competitiveness, and authenticity are going to make an immediate and lasting impact on our student-athletes and the continued success of our program."
Under his watch, the 2024 Johnnies led the nation in passing yards (4,563), completion percentage (76.3), and passing touchdowns (51) while mentoring quarterback Aaron Syverson who was named a Gagliardi Trophy Finalist (the D3 Heisman Trophy) and was the Walter Camp NCAA DIII Player of the Year.
Prior to Saint John's, Kulick was an offensive assistant at Division I Northwestern University for the 2022 season. His time included working with NFL fifth round draft pick Lou Ayeni.
Kulick's coaching resume also includes stints as the offensive quality control coach at Division I FCS Gardner-Webb University (N.C.) and at the high school level working at the Breck School (Minn.).
Kulick was a quarterback in college, playing at Division I FBS Western Kentucky University and Division I FCS Davidson College. He earned his bachelor's degree in 2021 at Saint John's.
