Haunga has been named California football’s tight ends coach Travers Family Head Football Coach Tosh Lupoi announced on December 27, 2025. He will also add run game coordinator duties for the Golden Bears.
Haunga has worked his way up the coaching ladder over the last decade, starting his career as a strength and conditioning intern at Boise State and Cal. He returns to Berkeley as a full-time coach after having held multiple roles on various offensive staffs as an analyst.
Haunga follows Lupoi from Oregon, where he has served as an offensive analyst for the last four seasons (2002-25). He has worked with multiple top-10 offenses and elite talents, including now-NFL quarterbacks Bo Nix and Dillon Gabriel. Following a breakout season by Nix in 2022, the Ducks led the nation in 2023 in passing offense (346.9 ypg) and ranked second in scoring offense (44.2 ppg), in addition to scoring at least 30 points in every game. Oregon continued its prolific passing attack in 2024 en route to claiming the Big Ten title and earning a No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. This season, Oregon has once again been a top-scoring offense, averaging 38.7 ppg and most recently putting up 51 points in a win over James Madison in the first round of the CFP. Big Ten Tight End of the Year Kenyon Sadiq has 42 catches for 509 yards and leads all of the nation’s tight ends with eight touchdown receptions. Three-time all-conference performer Terrance Ferguson wrapped up his collegiate career at Oregon after the 2024 campaign as the program’s all-time leader among tight ends in receptions (134) and receiving touchdowns (16), while ranking second in receiving yards (1,537)
Prior to his time in Eugene, Haunga spent two seasons with North Texas (2020-21) as an offensive quality control coach.
In 2019, Haunga served as a graduate assistant for the offensive line at Auburn during Nix’s SEC Freshman of the Year rookie season.
Haunga also had a three-year stint with Tulsa in three different roles, beginning his time with the Golden Hurricanes in 2016 as a graduate assistant on the athletic performance staff before holding roles as an offensive graduate assistant in 2017 and an offensive analyst in 2018.
As a player, he was a two-year letterwinner on the offensive line at Arkansas State and served as team captain as a 2013 senior. He played two seasons at College of the Canyons before moving on to Arkansas State, where he graduated with a bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies in 2014.
