Before the season

Departures to NFL

Quarterback Zach Wilson, offensive lineman Brady Christensen, and wide receiver Dax Milne all opted to forego their senior seasons and leave early for the NFL Draft.

Wilson became the highest draft pick in program history when he was selected second overall by the New York Jets. Christensen was selected in the third round by the Carolina Panthers, while Milne and two seniors, nose tackle Khyiris Tonga and defensive back Chris Wilcox, were each selected in the seventh round by the Washington Football Team, Chicago Bears, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, respectively. Seven other players signed undrafted free agent contracts with NFL teams. The five players selected marked the most in program history since 2002.

Coaching changes

On January 4, 2021 it was announced that Jeff Grimes had accepted a job with Baylor University as the offensive coordinator. Offensive line coach Eric Mateos followed Grimes to Baylor. Aaron Roderick, previously serving as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Grimes, was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Cougars. Wide receivers coach Fesi Sitake was then promoted to passing game coordinator. Both Roderick and Sitake will retain their roles as position coaches for the quarterbacks and wide receivers, respectively.

On February 4, 2021 it was announced that Kevin Clune had accepted a job as the linebackers coach for the Cougars. With the new hire Ed Lamb shifted to coach the safeties on the defensive side of the ball, Preston Hadley to the defensive ends/Hybrids and Ilaisa Tuiaki to interior defensive line.

On February 5, 2021 it was announced that Darrell Funk had accepted a job as the offensive line coach for the Cougars.
