Under Hobbs' leadership, the Sewanee offense also set a school record with five touchdown passes in a single game during Week 3 of 2024 season. In addition to his offensive duties, Hobbs oversaw the punt unit, which finished 15th nationally in net punting.

At WCU, he coached 1st Team All-SoCon selection Donnavan Spencer, who finished the season as the seventh-leading rusher in the FCS. 

Earlier in his career, Hobbs served as an Offensive Graduate Assistant at East Carolina University (2019), where he helped coach the wide receivers and tight ends, including C.J. Johnson, who set the NCAA freshman single-game receiving yardage record. Prior to ECU, Hobbs coached quarterbacks at North Carolina Central University in 2018, mentoring a two-time MEAC Offensive Player of the Week. From 2016 to 2017, Hobbs was an Offensive GA at Marshall University, contributing to the wide receivers and quarterbacks room during the Thundering Herd’s 2017 New Mexico Bowl victory. He began his coaching journey at Florida International University (2014–2015) as an Offensive Quality Control coach, working with both quarterbacks and wide receivers. 

Hobbs holds two master’s degrees: one in Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Sport Management from NC State University, and another in Adult and Continuing Education from Marshall University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Recreation and Sport Management from Florida International University.
