Jonny Broadhead

Jonny Broadhead is in his seventh year as head coach of the Utah Tech men’s soccer program. Broadhead led the team to a 4-13-1 finish in the 2021 season, finishing in ninth place in the Western Athletic Conference in just the team's second season as a Division I program. Additionally, Broadhead was the first head coach of the Trailblazers Division I era. The team went 3-6 in an altered spring-season format in the university's inaugural season as a member of the WAC. The team continued in the Division I transition by finishing with a 4-12-2 record in the 2022 season. The team finished with a 2-5-2 WAC record and an eighth place finish.

In his debut season in 2017, he led the Trailblazers to a 12-5-0 overall record, which included a fifth-place 8-5-0 finish in Pacific West Conference play. In his second season the team moved to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference where Broadhead lead the team to a 7-9-2 record on the 2018 season. In 2019, the team's final in the RMAC, Broadhead improved the team's record to 11-8-1 as the team prepared for the transition to Division I.

Broadhead arrived at UT after a three-year run as an Assistant Coach at Utah Valley University, the first two of which he served as a volunteer assistant coach before being elevated to a part-time assistant prior to the 2016 season. During his tenure at UVU, the Wolverines posted a 38-17-5 record and in UVU’s second year as an NCAA Division I program, the Wolverines earned an at-large bid into the 2014 NCAA Tournament. This past fall, Utah Valley won the Western Athletic Conference regular season title and was ranked in the top-25 nationally all season.

Prior to his time at UVU, Broadhead served a two-year stint as assistant coach at Colorado Mesa with former Trailblazers head coach Josh Pittman. The Mavericks went a combined 20-12-8 during his two seasons in Grand Junction, including a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament championship in 2013.

Broadhead was a four-year letter winner as a midfielder with Colorado State-Pueblo from 2001-04, and finished his collegiate career with three goals and 13 assists. He finished his playing days with the Ogden Outlaws of the United Soccer League’s PDL in 2007 and 2008, and earned 2008 All-PDL Honorable Mention honors.

He began his coaching career in 2006 with Inter FC Utah. In 2010 he was named assistant director of coaching and was elevated director of coaching the next season. During his time with Inter FC, Broadhead helped coach eight different state championship teams, most recently this last fall where he won his first as a head coach. Broadhead helped in the college recruiting process of over 50 Inter FC players which were placed on NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA teams. He also spent three years as the ‘95 Boys Utah ODP assistant coach and is also currently serving on US Soccer Region IV ODP staff since 2014.

Broadhead was born in Pasadena, Calif., and moved to Orem, Utah at the age of 12, where he earned four varsity letters in soccer at Timpanogos High School. He also played in the Utah ODP and youth club soccer programs.

Nick Vorberg

The 2023 season will be Nick Vorberg's third on the men's soccer coaching staff and first with the women's program.

Vorberg came to Utah Tech after serving in various positions with Marquette University’s men and women’s soccer teams since 2012, having served as a full-time assistant coach with the women's soccer program for four seasons.

His primary duties at Marquette included training and mentoring the MU goalkeepers in addition to camp instruction. Vorberg helped Marquette’s women’s team to Big East Regular Season and Tournament Championship titles. He also helped the men’s soccer team to Big East regular season and tournament championships as well as two NCAA appearances.

A Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) standout goalkeeper with the Milwaukee Wave, he garnered the league's goalkeeper of the year award following the 2009-10 and 2012-13 seasons, respectively and ranks second on the Wave's all-time list in wins. He helped the Wave to three MISL Championships in 2005 and back-to-back seasons of 2011 and 2012 and also served as an assistant coach with the Wave.

In June 2013, Vorberg played with the U.S. Futsal national team at the Four Nations Tournament in Newcastle, England, where the U.S. team won all three of its matches.

In 2010, he was inducted into the Pacific University (Ore.) Athletic Hall of Fame. As one of the top goalkeepers in school history, Vorberg earned all-conference and all-region accolades in 1996 after guiding the Boxers to the Northwest Conference championship and a No. 20 national ranking. His 17 victories that season are a school record. He also held Pacific's single-season mark in saves upon graduating with an education degree and a minor in Japanese.
