Magginson joins the Gettysburg staff as special teams coordinator and defensive line coach in Feb. 2026.
Magginson has spent the last four seasons as defensive ends coach at Division I Southern Utah after playing and coaching at Frostburg State.
In his first season on the Southern Utah staff in 2022, Magginson helped lead the Thunderbirds to a 5-6 overall record with a 2-3 mark in Western Athletic Conference play. He helped prepare Francis Bemiy for the CFL draft, where he was selected ninth overall by the BC Lions.
A year later, Magginson helped Southern Utah to a 6-5 record and the program’s first winning season since 2017. He was part of a defensive staff that put together a unit that ranked in the top 25 in FCS in tackles for loss (sixth, 7.5 TFL/game), rush defense (14th, 106.9 ypg), third-down conversion defense (18th, 32.9 percent), passing efficiency defense (24th, 117.4) and turnovers (25th, 20).
On special teams, he specifically coached the PAT block unit, drawing up the gameplan weekly.
Prior to his time on staff at Southern Utah, Magginson spent four years on the staff of his alma mater, Frostburg State, working with the defensive line. At Frostburg, he worked extensively preparing the weekly scout offense preparation. In his last two seasons a defensive line coach, he was responsible for signaling the defensive calls on the field and managing the rotation of defensive linemen.
A four-year player for the Bobcats, he appeared in all 13 games with two starts as a senior in 2017 and made 46 tackles, including 4.0 for loss and 1.5 sacks. He also had an interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery. The defense that season ranked 16th in the nation in total defense and won a then-program record 11 games, advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals.
