Saint Peter's University Director of Athletics Bryan Felt announced the appointment of Pedro "Jordan" Yantin as the next leader of the women's volleyball program. Yantin becomes the program's 10th head coach for the upcoming 35th season.
 
"We are thrilled to have Jordan join Saint Peter's Athletics," Felt said. "He's had tremendous success in his young coaching career and has a great passion for volleyball. Jordan has shown a great ability to recruit and develop student-athletes and we are excited to have him leading Peacock Women's Volleyball into the future."
 
"I am honored and beyond blessed for the opportunity to lead the Peacock Volleyball Program," Yantin said. "I am convinced Saint Peter's is a special place and can provide the best atmosphere and support system. I want to thank Director of Athletics, Mr. Bryan Felt, the Peacock Athletics Department, and everyone involved in the hiring process, for their trust in me. I'm excited to see what new heights we can all achieve together."
 
Yantin takes over the women's volleyball team after serving as the head coach at Florida State College at Jacksonville for two seasons. In his first season as the leader of the junior college team in Jacksonville, his squad posted a 16-9 overall record and finished with a first-place Panhandle Conference record of 7-1. Yantin's team won the 2017 Panhandle Conference Championship and made its first appearance in the FCSAA Region VIII Tournament since 2010. He was named Panhandle Conference Coach of the Year and he coached the conference player of the year, an All-American, an All-Region player, and seven all-conference players.
 
In 2018, Yantin's Florida State College at Jacksonville team enjoyed more success under his guidance, defeating the two-time reigning national champion and No. 1 ranked team Miami Dade College in the FCSAA Region VIII Tournament. The team also knocked off the No. 2 and No. 10 nationally ranked teams in the tournament, which had never been accomplished by the school, en route to a third-place finish, the programs first since 2003. After no appearances in the Region Tournament since 2010, Yantin led the program into back-to-back regional appearances in his first two seasons. Yantin and his team also finished the season ranked in the top-20 nationally, another feat that had not been done by the team in over a decade. His 2018 squad produced the conference player of the year, an All-American, two all-region players, and five all-conference players.
 
Prior to Florida State College at Jacksonville, Yantin served as a coach for the Jacksonville Juniors Volleyball Club and the beach and indoor volleyball coach with the Vaqueros Volleyball Club in Puerto Rico, winning two Junior Nationals Open Championships in the U.S., while serving as the Athletic Director and Volleyball Coach at Jardin de la Merced School in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Prior to that, he served as the Head Coach for the American University of Bayamon in Puerto Rico from 2011-2013 and the Assistant Men's Coach at Metropolitan College (UMET) in 2015. Yantin also served as a Physical Education teacher and both the male and female head coach for Beach and Indoor Volleyball at Carmen Sol School in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico (2008-2014).
 
In 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, Yantin was the Junior Beach Volleyball Champion and MVP for Puerto Rico. He and his partner won the 2006 AAU Beach Volleyball Gold Championship, the first pair from Puerto Rico to ever win the tournament. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, Jordan and his partner were crowned as Beach Volleyball Champions in Puerto Rico.

Yantin graduated from American University of Bayamon in Bayamon, Puerto Rico in 2012 earning his degree in Physical Education. While there, he played NCAA Division II men's volleyball.
