Mark Dupuis is in his fourth season overall as wide receivers coach at Old Dominion. He was Ricky Rahne's first hire as head coach.
The 2022 season saw Dupuis lead Ali Jennings to one of the best seasons in the country by a wide receiver. Jennings finished third in the country with 106.6 receiving yards per game and 19th in the country in touchdowns. He led the Sun Belt in both categories. Dupuis also oversaw the development of Javon Harvey. Harvey caught two passes in the first four games of the season and had 28 grabs for 538 yards and four touchdowns in the final eight games of the year. A young unit, ODU had eight players make their first career catch, led by true freshman Ahmarian Granger who had 15 receptions for 174 yards.
In 2021, Dupuis helped Ali Jennings III to one of the top seasons by a wide receiver in ODU history. Jennings, an All-Conference USA honorable mention selection, caught 66 passes for 1,066 yards and five touchdowns. His 1,066 yards were the third most in program history. Jennings ranked fifth in C-USA in receiving yards and 32nd in the country.
Dupuis also helped young receivers Isiah Paige, Javon Harvey, Jordan Bly and Darius Savedge improve throughout the season. Paige was ODU's third leading receiver on the year, while Savedge has ODU's longest play from scrimmage, a 63-yard touchdown catch at FIU.
Dupuis comes to ODU after spending the previous three seasons as a graduate assistant at Penn State. At Penn State he worked with the offense.
"It is an incredible honor to join Coach Rahne's staff and the ODU Monarch football program. I believe in Coach Rahne's vision for this program beginning with our team's four core values," Dupuis said. "With his leadership I know we can achieve excellence on the field, in the classroom and in the community. I am grateful for the opportunity and excited to get to work making Monarch Nation proud!"
