Michael Case joined Scott Abell’s staff in February of 2025 as the assistant defensive line coach, where he will assist Ty Warren with the Owls’ defensive line.
Case joined the Owls from SFA where he worked with the secondary as a volunteer in 2023 and then as a GA in 2024 where he assisted Warren with the defensive line.

The Lumberjacks went from 3-8 to 7-5, with their five losses coming by a combined 32 points, closing with a 32-19 win over #11 Abilene Christian.
He began his coaching career at the Pop Warner level in Riverside, California after graduation from Riverside Poly High School in 2016 and then began coaching at Riverside Poly in 2017.
He moved on to John W. North HS in Riverside, where he coached quarterbacks and the offensive line as well as coordinated special teams for two seasons (2021 & 2022).
He graduated from California Baptist in 2023 with a degree in Kinesiology and earned his Master of Education from SFA the following year.
