Playing career[]

Ioane played safety for Montana State,[3] earning All-America honors for four straight years, from 2000 to 2003. He was the Big Sky Conference defensive MVP in 2003 and finished at Montana State as the Big Sky's all-time tackles leader.[4] Ioane was inducted to the Montana State Hall of Fame in 2014,[5][6] and the Montana Football Hall of Fame in 2016.[3]

Ioane spent a brief stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following his graduation, during the offseason following the 2004 season.[7] He participated in mini-camp, but ultimately did not make the roster and returned to Billings for a coaching position in 2005.[8]

Coaching career[]

After serving as a student assistant during the 2004 season,[9] Ioane was hired by Montana State as a linebackers coach to begin the 2005 season.[2] He remained in this position until 2016, with only one year gap in 2015, during which time he was also Montana State's defensive coordinator. In 2017, Ioane accepted a position at Washington as a defensive analyst, a position he held for two years.[9] In 2019, Ioane returned to Montana State as the Bobcats' defensive coordinator and safeties coach; he held this position for two years as well. In 2021, he accepted a position at Boise State as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach on the staff of new head coach Andy Avalos.[10]

Personal life[]

Ioane is a native of Billings, Montana, and graduated from Montana State University with a Bachelor of Arts in education in 2005. He lives with his wife, Kerri, and their two children.[4]
