College Football Playoff

Hunter Yurachek is in his seventh year at the University of Arkansas, where the Razorbacks are in the midst of its most successful era in its history with three consecutive top-15 Directors' Cup finishes. Before that time, Arkansas earned only one top-15 finish in the first 24 years of the competition. Under his leadership, the Razorbacks have made its mark in one the most competitive conferences in the nation, leading all SEC programs with 33 conference championships in the past six years, including 25 titles in the past four years alone. Both marks lead all SEC programs.

Before coming to Fayetteville, Yurachek served as Director of Athletics at Coastal Carolina University (2010-15) and the University of Houston (2015-17). He also held various athletics administration leadership positions at Akron, Virginia, Western Carolina, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.

Yurachek earned his bachelor's degree in business management at Guilford College in 1990, where he was a four-year letter winner in basketball. He then went on to receive his master's degree in sports administration from the University of Richmond in 1994.
