Entering his third season as a member of the Blue Jay coaching staff in 2026 is Joe Costadina.  Costadina came to Johns Hopkins from the University of Pennsylvania and works closely with offensive coordinator Alex Horvatits on all facets of the Blue Jay offense.

Costadina mentored a prolific group of receivers during a 2025 season that saw the Blue Jays post a 12-2 record while making a second consecutive run to the NCAA Semiifinals.  His top protege, then junior Cole Crotty, earned All-America and Academic All-America honors while setting a school record with 1,414 receiving yards.  Costadina's top three receivers in 2025 - Crotty, Robby Enright and Josh Moore - are all due to return in 2026 after combining for 179 receptions for 2,710 yards and 27 touchdowns.

In his first season at Homewood, Costadina helped guide the Blue Jays to a 12-2 record, the program’s 17th Centennial Conference title and a run to the NCAA Semifinals for the second time in program history.  Under his guidance, two Blue Jay wide receivers earned All-Centennial Conference honors.

Costadina spent the 2023 season at Penn as the Offensive Quality Control Coach and worked closely with the Quaker offensive line.  He worked under the direction of the offensive line coach at Penn on all aspects of game and practice planning and player development.  He also created and managed all opponent scouting reports and was actively involved with Penn’s national recruiting efforts.  In his one season at Penn, he helped the Quakers to a 6-4 record.

Costadina’s one-year stint at Penn followed him working as the Offensive Quality Control Coach at the University at Albany during the 2022 season.  At Albany, his efforts were focused on wide receivers and he was actively involved in all facets of the offense, including the development of game plans, on-field in-game coaching of his position group and the development of scouting reports.

A 2021 graduate of Rowan University, Costadina got his coaching start at his alma mater, where he spent five seasons as a student assistant on the coaching staff.  He progressively gained increased responsibility on the Prof staff, spending two years as an undergraduate as the assistant wide receivers coach and one year as the running backs coach.  As the running backs coach in 2021, he mentored a First Team All-New Jersey Athletic Conference selection and the Rowan rushing attack generated nearly 170 years per game.

Costadina graduated from Rowan in 2021 with a degree in finance.
