Jon Embree is in his eighth season on the Colorado staff, as he was hired full-time on March 9, 1993. He returned to coaching tight ends under Gary Barnett in 1999. Assigned to recruit Colorado, and particularly the Denver area, Embree played a pivotal role in helping CU to secure Marcus Houston last February. Houston, out of Denver's Thomas Jefferson High, is considered the most celebrated high school football performer in state history, and Embree's recruiting skills were an integral part of keeping him in his home state. He graduated from the University of Colorado with a B.A. degree in communications in 1987.
