Biography

Veteran special teams coordinator Adam Scheier is in his first season at Florida State after being hired as FSU's special teams coordinator on Jan. 12, 2026. Scheier brings 24 years of special teams coordinator experience to Tallahassee. He has coached an all-conference kicker or punter in 20 of those seasons and has overseen the development of four top-10 special teams efficiency units in the last 13 years. His units have scored nine touchdowns in the last six years, the fourth-highest total among special teams coordinators nationally. Scheier was UNLV’s special teams coordinator in 2025, helping the Rebels reach the MWC Championship Game after a 10-win season. UNLV led the Mountain West and ranked eighth nationally in blocked punts and had the conference’s third-best punt return defense. The Rebels were one of four teams in the country to have multiple players return a punt for a touchdown. Before UNLV, Scheier was Temple’s special teams coordinator and tight ends coach for three seasons. In 2024, kicker Maddux Trujillo became the third kicker in NCAA history to make two 60-yard field goals in a single season. He earned second-team All-AAC honors after becoming responsible for the only two 60-yard field goals in conference history. Trujillo made a 64-yard field goal against Utah State to set the AAC, Temple and Lincoln Financial Field records for longest field goal and then two weeks later made a 60-yard field goal at UConn that set the Pratt & Whitney Stadium record.
