Wisconsin Badgers

Guiton was named the Badger's Quarterbacks Coach in January 2025 after coaching the Badger wide receivers during the 2024 season. He joined Badgers’ staff as wide receivers coach in Jan. 2024 after three seasons at the University of Arkansas.

Under Guiton’s tutelage in 2024, five different Wisconsin wideouts caught multiple touchdowns for the first time in program history. Guiton also helped lead the UW QB room during the final stretch of the season. Guiton helped junior receiver Vinny Anthony II to a breakout season in 2024 that included a team-high 672 yards and four touchdowns on 39 catches. Anthony grabbed six passes of 40+ yards, the second-most in the Big Ten.
 
Before joining the Badgers’ staff, Guiton led the Arkansas wide receivers unit from 2021-23. In 2023, Guiton led the Razorback’s wideout corps and assumed offensive coordinator duties after OC Dan Enos was fired eight games into the regular season. Guiton helped the Razorbacks’ offense tally 450+ total yards in two of the final four games of 2023. That included a 39-36 shootout victory over Florida on Nov. 4 that saw Arkansas rush for 226 yards and throw for 255. Arkansas went on to total a season-high 510 total yards in a win over Florida International on Nov. 18.
 
Guiton took an unproven group in 2022 and turned them into a productive unit for an offense that topped 6,000 total yards for just the third time in school history. The Hogs relied on a pair of transfers to lead the way with Jadon Haselwood hauling in the most passes and Matt Landers putting up the most yards and touchdowns. Haselwood was steady over 12 games, catching 59 passes for 702 yards and three scores.
 
Guiton’s first season with the Hogs was a memorable one with the team winning nine games, including the Outback Bowl. His wide receivers were a major contributor in an Arkansas offense that was explosive, gaining 441.7 yards per game including 213.9 yards per game passing. Wide receiver Treylon Burks took another step forward in 2021 under Guiton’s supervision, earning First-Team All-SEC from both the league’s coaches and the Associated Press while also being named to PFF’s All-America second team. Burks produced one of the greatest seasons ever by an Arkansas wideout, catching 66 passes – second-most in a single season by a Razorback – for 1,104 yards – third-most in a single season – and 11 touchdowns – second-most in a single season.
 
Guiton, a former Ohio State quarterback, spent the 2020 season at Colorado State as part of head coach Steve Addazio’s coaching staff. Despite the Rams playing only four games due to COVID-19, wide receiver Dante Wright finished second in the Mountain West in receiving yards per game (105).
 
Guiton guided the outside wide receivers at Louisiana Tech in 2019, helping the Bulldogs to a 10-3 record and a win over Miami (Fla.) in the Walk On’s Independence Bowl. He helped tutor one of the best receiving corps in Conference USA as the team had the fourth-best passing offense in the league.
 
He spent 2017-18 as the wide receiver coach at Houston. The Cougars ranked fifth nationally in scoring (43.9 ppg), seventh in total offense (512.5 ypg) and 16th in passing offense (295.5 ypg). Houston scored 30+ points in all 12 regular season games and 40+ in 10 of those games.
 
Guiton spent four months at Texas as a quality control coach before returning to Houston to lead the team’s wide receivers for head coach Major Applewhite. He began his career in coaching as a graduate assistant at Houston from 2015-16, working under head coach Tom Herman, his former offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Guiton was part of Cougars teams that went 13-1 and 9-4 as a graduate assistant, which included the 2015 Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl victory over No. 9 Florida State. Over his four total years at Houston, he saw the program reach four straight bowl games and helped produce a 1,000-yard receiver in all four seasons.
 
Guiton played quarterback at Ohio State from 2009-13 overlapping with current Wisconsin head Luke Fickell, who was coaching linebackers and served as the Buckeyes’ interim head coach in 2011. Guiton appeared in 22 games over his OSU career, throwing for 893 yards and 16 touchdowns. As a senior, he started two games and played in eight total, completing 69% of his passes and tossing 14 touchdowns for the 12-2 Buckeyes. In his second career start, he set a program-record with six first-half touchdown passes against Florida A&M.
 
As a professional, Guiton participated in mini-camp for the Buffalo Bills in 2014 before joining the Arena Football League’s LA KISS.
 
He earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio State in family resource management in 2013.
 
Guiton is married to his wife, Rachell, and has three sons – Jordan, Jaxson and Josiah.
