From 2021-2023, he was the Seattle assistant offensive line coach before joining Panthers' coach Dave Canales in Carolina for the 2024 season in that same role. This season, the Jaguars' offensive line unit ranked ninth in ESPN's pass-block win rate metric and sixth in run-block win rate. The depth of this unit was tested throughout the year due to injuries, but the offensive line continued to produce almost regardless of what the configuration was. Shaun Sarrett is still the Jaguars' offensive line coach. Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union mentioned Trevor Mendelson, an offensive assistant this season, as an in-house candidate to fill Kekuewa's role.
