Former Murray State quarterback Brendan Bognar is in his second season in 2023 as an offensive analyst for the UCF football program.
He helped the Knights to nine wins and berths in the American Athletic Conference title game and the Military Bowl in 2022—also working with the UCF quarterbacks in bowl preparations.
Bognar spent the 2021 campaign as a graduate assistant coach at Troy, working with the Trojans’ quarterbacks who threw for 238.7 yards per game. He also spent several months as inside receivers and tight ends coach at Samford in the spring of 2022—after working at Samford in 2020 as the lead offensive analyst and quarterbacks coach for an offense that averaged 40.3 points per game.
Bognar came to Murray State as a walk-on quarterback and eventually earned a scholarship. He was a two-year captain who mentored three all-conference quarterbacks—playing in two games in 2017 and five more in 2019.
From St. Louis, Missouri, he graduated from Westminster Christian Academy in Town and Country, Missouri—throwing for 2,987 yards and 38 TDs as a senior, earning first-team all-conference and all-district recognition and also competing in basketball. He spent the 2015 season at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri.
He graduated from Murray State with a degree in public relations and earned a master’s degree from Murray State in human development and leadership and another master’s degree from Troy in sports management.
