Cutter Leftwich joined the UNT Football staff in December 2023. He serves as offensive line coach.

In his first season with the Mean Green, the UNT offense finished third in the country in total offense, fourth in passing offense and 23rd in scoring offense. The offensive line excelled despite starting 10 different units in 13 games on the season.

Leftwich was crucial in the growth of PFF All-True Freshman team selection Braydon Nelson as well as FWAA Freshman All-American Tyler Mercer. The Mean Green started a pair of true freshman on the offensive line for a majority of the season.

Leftwich comes to Denton following one season at Oregon in 2023 where he served as assistant offensive line coach. The 2023 Oregon offensive line was named as a finalist for the prestigious Joe Moore Award given annually to the nation’s top unit.

Oregon's offensive line was dominant in 2023 leading the nation with just five sacks allowed, four fewer than any other FBS team. The Ducks allowed multiple sacks just once in 13 games this season while not allowing any sacks in nine games, including six of the last seven.

Tied for fourth in the FBS with just 42 tackles for loss allowed, Oregon ranks second in the nation in scoring (44.2 ppg), total offense (526.6 ypg) and passing offense (342.8 ypg), while ranking third in yards per rush (5.86).

Oregon is the top-graded pass blocking team in the nation by Pro Football Focus at 91.3, checking in as the only team above 90.0. The Ducks are also the nation's No. 2 graded rushing team by PFF at 95.0.

Leftwich also spent one season each on staff at UCLA (2022) and UTSA (2021). In his one year with the Bruins, the offensive line was selected as a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award.

A native of Denton, he played collegiately at McNeese State from 2018-19 where he started 20 games at center. He is the son of former UNT assistant coach Spencer Leftwich, who had two stints on the Mean Green staff from 1994-02 and 2007-09.

Leftwich earned his degree from McNeese in December 2020. He is engaged to his fiance Abbie Wieseler.
