Bryan Schor, a former All-American quarterback who guided James Madison to a 2016 national championship, returns home to coach at his alma mater, entering his first season in 2026 as the program’s tight ends coach.
Â
Schor spent the past six seasons coaching in the Football Bowl Subdivision ranks, most recently at Georgia Southern, where he was tight ends coach during the 2025 season and an assistant quarterbacks coach and analyst from 2022 to 2024.
Â
During the 2025 season, he led a tight ends unit that helped pave the way for the Georgia Southern’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2018. As a group, the GS tight ends caught 19 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown.
Â
Prior to his move to the tight ends and in a senior analyst role, Schor’s first three seasons in Statesboro saw the three highest single-season passing totals in school history. In 2021, he helped mentor Kyle Vantrease, who broke nearly every Georgia Southern passing mark in leading the Eagles to the Camellia Bowl. A year later, Davis Brin also put up high passing numbers and JC French set a program record for completion percentage in 2024.
Prior to GS, Schor was an offensive graduate assistant at ECU, working with his former JMU head coach Mike Houston, for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
Â
While at ECU, Schor worked with Holton Ahlers, who is the career leader in passing yards, total offense, passing touchdowns, touchdowns responsible for, completions, pass attempts and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in Pirate history.
Â
Before coaching and following his JMU career, Schor signed a one-year contract with Winnipeg of the Canadian Football League in 2019 and then later signed with Ottawa. He also participated in a rookie minicamp with the Chicago Bears in 2018.
Â
Schor ranks as one of JMU’s best quarterbacks in the history of the program, as he rewrote the record books during his time leading the offense. To this day, Schor is still JMU’s all-time career leader in passing yards (7,078), passing touchdowns (62), completions (559) and total offense (8,241).
Â
In his 2016 national championship season, Schor was a HERO Sports Second Team All-American, won the Bill Dudley Award, which is given to the top Division I player in Virginia and was voted Colonial Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Year. He was a two-time Walter Payton Award finalist, finishing eighth in the voting in 2017 and was a two-time All-CAA and All-State selection. He also guided JMU to a national runner-up finish in his senior season.
Â
Schor was inducted into the Delaware Valley High School Hall of Fame in 2023 after finishing his career with 6,518 passing yards and 56 touchdowns.
Â
Schor and his wife, Lindsay, have a young son, Cooper Harrison.
