Chiefs OC Matt Nagy's son Tate Nagy commits to the University of Kansas 2025 class

Nagy played QB to this point in high school, but his path to playing the wide receiver position started at a football camp at SMU. 

“I just made a quick decision to hop over to the wide receiver line and I made one catch and I kind of just started everything off,” Nagy said, via Rivals. “I was talking to a few college coaches out there and they were keeping in touch, and then I ended up going to the Kansas camp, which went good.”

The coaches at KU saw something in the 5-foot-10 and 175-pound athlete that piqued their interest during the camp. It's easy to see what that is in the clips above. For someone who hasn't been playing receiver, he looks pretty smooth with the position. 

Nagy received offers from Ball State, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Kansas, before ultimately deciding to join the Jayhawks. 

What does this mean for Chiefs OC Matt Nagy? 

Matt Nagy, of course, is in his second stint in Kansas City. He spent 2013-2015 as the Chiefs' quarterbacks coach. He was promoted in 2016 to co-offensive coordinator and took over as the team's full-time offensive coordinator in 2017 before leaving to spend four seasons as the head coach of the Chicago Bears in 2018. 

In back-to-back seasons since his return to the Chiefs, they've become Super Bowl champions. If the offense can kick things up a notch in 2024 en route to a third consecutive title, he could again become a hot name in the NFL head-coaching carousel. With his son playing college football just 40 minutes up i-70, he could be compelled to stick it out in Kansas City.
