Twyner to coach Western Illinois receivers

NCAA Football Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - Macomb, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gunnard Twyner, a former all-conference wide receiver at Western Illinois University, will coach the position at his alma mater this season.

Twyner will serve as wide receivers coach under head coach Mark Hendrickson. As a player at WIU, Twyner earned First Team All-Gateway Conference (now known as Missouri Valley Football Conference) honors from 1993-1995, and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors as a junior in 1994.

Twyner ranks second all-time in receptions (144) and receiving yards (2.243) at EIU. He holds the Leathernecks' single-game record for touchdown receptions (four), and their record for consecutive games with a catch (33).

Twyner played in the NFL from 1996-1999 as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals and the New Orleans Saints. He was in training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2000, then spent five seasons in the Arena Football League, playing for Tampa Bay, Buffalo and Columbus.

"I feel very fortunate to return to Leatherneck Football and begin my collegiate coaching career," Twyner said. "I've gained a great deal of experience from my playing days - both collegiately and professionally - and the time I have worked coaching."

Last summer, as part of the NFL Minority Coaching internship, Twyner worked with the Indianapolis Colts as an assistant quarterbacks coach.
