Jordon Twohig, who led Ohlone College (Fremont, Calif.) to the California state junior college championship in 2010, was named as an assistant coach at Washington on July 9, 2010.

"Jordon Twohig is another step in the right direction for Husky Baseball," said Huskies head coach Lindsay Meggs, who coached his first season at the UW in 2010. "Having led Ohlone Junior College to the California state championship last year, it's clear that Jordon knows how to win. His swagger will be contagious, and his energy will be felt by everyone. Jordon is going to be a great Husky."

In May of 2010, Twohig wrapped up his second season as the head coach at Ohlone by winning the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) crown with a 16-10 win over the College of San Mateo College in the title game. The win was the first state championship at Ohlone in any team sport.

Twohig's 2010 team went 37-10 overall and were 20-5 in the Coast Conference. The Renegades finished the year ranked No. 3 in the nation according to Perfect Game USA's junior college poll. Twohig was honored as the 2010 ABCA Diamond/National Coach of the Year.

The 2010 Ohlone squad boasted eight all-conference players, including two all-American selections, the state's pitcher of the year and three players who were selected in the Major League Draft. The Renegades hit .314 as a team, were No. 2 in the state in home runs, and finished in the top 10 in the state in every major offensive category.

"I am very thankful for this opportunity that Coach Meggs has given me, to be an assistant coach at the University of Washington", Twohig said. "Coach Meggs is one of the best coaches in the country, and is known for motivating his players, and winning championships. For me and my family, the choice was easy, and one we could not pass up. We are thrilled to be Huskies."

In his first season in charge at Ohlone in 2009, Twohig led the Renegades to their first league title in 18 years and a trip to the state super regionals. Twohig was named the Coast Conference Coach of the Year and the 2009 squad finished the year ranked No. 19 in the nation while notching eight first-team all-league selections. Under Twohig's watch the 2009 Renegades hit .328 as a team, and finished top five in the state in home runs, RBI, stolen bases, hits, and doubles.

In his three years at Ohlone, Twohig guided the Renegades to a 94-43 record, winning two regional championships, a super-regional championship, a state title, and helping bolster a team GPA of 3.2. He also moved 41 players onto four-year colleges.

Twohig served as associate head coach at Ohlone in 2008 before taking over as the head coach. As the associate head coach, he served as recruiting coordinator and oversaw the team's hitting.

Prior to going to work at Ohlone, Twohig compiled an extensive resume in baseball. He was a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves for three years. At the same time, he served as a head coach with NorCal Baseball, a select youth program. While at Norcal, Twohig managed the U-15 team to a national championship in East Cobb, Georgia, and a No. 1 national ranking. Eight players from that team have signed Pac-10 scholarships.

Twohig was also an assistant coach at St. Mary's College of California in the West Coast Conference for three years and served as an assistant at Feather River College in Quincy, Calif.

Twohig, who graduated from Summerville high school in Sonora, Calif., earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from York College in Nebraska, and a master's degree in sports management from the United States Sports Academy in Daphne, Ala. He and his wife, Nicole, were married in summer of 2010.
