Wesley Beschorner of Lohrville, Iowa, set 33 program records during a four-year career that culminated with first-team all-America honors and a runner-up finish for national player of the year as a senior in 2005. Wes passed for 6,240 yards and 64 touchdowns in three years at the quarterback position. He also ran for 1,236 yards and 22 scores. Wes led the Coyotes to back-to-back 9-2 campaigns and to an NCC Championship in 2005.
Among Wes’ many highlights is his 479-yard, 5-touchdown performance in a win against Omaha to move his team to 5-0 during the 2005 season. Four games later, he completed just 10 passes, six of them went for touchdowns, in a 63-17 rout of Upper Iowa. Wes would go on to be named NCC back of the year in addition to appearing on all three all-America teams. His 215.2 passer rating in 2005 remains the second-best ever in Division 2 history.
Wes played arena football for more than a year before returning to the Coyotes as a graduate assistant coach prior to the 2006 season. He spent 10 years on the coaching staff at USD including seven years as offensive coordinator and four as associate head coach. Wes was an offensive quality control coach at Pitt during the 2016 season, and is currently the quarterbacks coach at Rice University. He and his wife, Kiki, have three sons, Burke, Rhett and Troy.
