Claire Ochal enters her third season as The Liz O'Leary Head Coach for Radcliffe Heavyweight Crew in 2025-26.  In 2024-25, Ochal led the Harvard-Radcliffe program to its 17th NCAA qualification, the first time since 2019. The program ranked as high at No. 11 in the country and finished No. 13 overall at NCAAs. In just two full years, Ochal has helped the team consistently move forward in the national rankings. Before Harvard, Ochal spent a successful five-season stint at Syracuse where she served as the Orange’s associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.   During her time in central New York, Ochal guided the Orange to unprecedented heights, helping build the foundation in her first season when Syracuse finished in third place at the 2019 ACC Championships. The momentum from its bronze performance was temporarily halted in 2019-20 due to the pandemic, but quickly regained in 2020-21.   The 2021 spring campaign brought another third-place showing at the conference regatta, but the Orange saved its best for last at the NCAA Championships. Ochal tutored a Syracuse crew that finished 10th nationally, marking its best performance in school history.   In her final two seasons with the Orange, Syracuse continued to make strides, posting a runner-up effort at the 2022 ACC Championships and a 17th-place showing at NCAAs before making more history in 2023. Last year’s Orange first varsity eight won the ACC for the first time in program history, en route to ACC Crew-of-the-Year accolades. As a team, Syracuse came in second place for the second straight year before finishing in 13th place at the NCAA Championships.   Prior to her time at Syracuse, Ochal dedicated her time to developing rowers of all ages. During the summer of 2019, she served as the southwest women’s head coach for the USRowing Olympic Development Program and was PNRA/Mercer’s U23 women’s head coach in the summer of 2016. While in New Jersey, Ochal ran a competitive summer program for 12 Division I athletes from across the country, coaching them at several summer regattas, including the U23 World Championship Trials, Independence Day Regatta, and Canadian Henley.   Ochal’s first collegiate rowing position came at Temple where she served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. In 2015-16, Ochal helped the Owls’ freshman eight boat to a first-place finish at the 2015 Navy Day Regatta and the third varsity eight to a first-place performance at the 2016 American Athletic Conference Championships.   Before joining the Temple staff, Ochal was the varsity women’s coach and assistant program coordinator for the nationally acclaimed Long Beach Junior Crew. With Ochal at the helm, Long Beach Junior Crew posted numerous top-five efforts at major events across the country and helped the novice team become the most successful in LBJC history.   Ochal, who received a USRowing Level II Coaching Certification in 2015, is familiar with the Boston area having rowed at nearby Boston University. A three-year team captain on the women’s rowing team and NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee member, Ochal received her bachelor’s degree from BU in health science & public health in 2012.

Andrew Aurich, who is the fifth person to lead the Crimson since Ivy League play began in football in 1956, begins his second season in 2025 as The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football. In Year 1 at the helm of the program, Aurich led Harvard to its second straight Ivy League title after a 2024 campaign that saw it finish 8-2 and 5-2 in conference play. At one point of the season, the Crimson won seven straight games and entered both major top-25 polls, rising to as high as No. 17 in the Stats Perform rankings before finishing 2024 at No. 25. Under Aurich's leadership, wide receiver Cooper Barkate and safety Ty Bartrum earned a trip to New York City as finalists for the Asa S. Bushnell Cup, which recognizes the Ivy League Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year. The duo was also part of the Crimson's 17 all-Ivy League honorees, a figure that led the Ancient Eight, with Barkate later earning All-America accolades from five different media outlets.   Prior to stepping foot in Cambridge, the St. Paul, Minnesota, native gained valuable coaching experience having spent time at the high-school, NCAA Division III, NCAA Division I (FCS, FBS) and NFL levels. His stops included tours at Rutgers and Princeton, and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.    Aurich arrived at Harvard from Rutgers and the Big Ten Conference where he spent six seasons, covering two stints (2009-10, 2020-23). In his first go-around, Aurich was involved in player development (2009), before serving as a defensive assistant in 2010. During his most recent stay in Piscataway, New Jersey, Aurich helped build the Scarlet Knights, who won two games the season before his arrival, into an outfit that won seven games in 2023, and defeated Miami (Fla.) in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.   Aurich coached the Rutgers offensive line from 2020-21, and his impact was immediately felt. In 2020, the Scarlet Knights finished as the nation’s fourth-most improved scoring offense team (+13.4 ppg) and had the sixth-best improvement in total points scored among FBS schools despite playing three fewer games than many of its peers. A season later, the offensive line helped Rutgers post its highest win total since 2014. The last two years, meanwhile, saw Aurich coach the running backs (2022) and tight ends (2023) to a position of strength, with Rutgers boasting a top-10 true first-year running back in 2022, and a 2023 All-Big Ten Honorable Mention tight end.   Before helping the Scarlet Knights return to bowl eligibility, Aurich enjoyed a successful eight-season tenure at Princeton (2011, 2013-19). In Year 1, the running backs coach mentored the first first-year in Ivy League history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. After one year in the Ancient Eight, Aurich spent the 2012 campaign in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a defensive assistant, before returning to Princeton in 2013 to coach the Tigers’ tight ends and special teams (2013-15).   Aurich took on recruiting coordinator duties and moved to the offensive line for 2016. His move to the trenches helped jumpstart a group that produced the Ivy League’s top scoring and rushing units en route to Princeton’s first conference title since ’13. The success prompted another title change as Aurich was promoted to associate head coach ahead of the 2017 season. Over the next two years (2017-18), Princeton ranked among the top 15 nationally in fewest tackles-for-loss allowed and fewest sacks allowed, with the 2018 offense ranking among the most prolific in the country. That year, the Tigers led the Ivy in rushing, while leading the FCS in scoring (all-time Ivy record 47.0 ppg) en route to a 10-0 campaign and league championship. Following Princeton’s second Ivy crown in three years, Aurich was elevated to offensive coordinator/offensive line coach for 2019, directing one of the Ivy League’s top offensive attacks before heading to Rutgers in ’20.   Aurich began his collegiate coaching career at Albright College, a Division III school in Reading, Pennsylvania. While serving as Albright’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator, Aurich helped the Lions to a 5-win improvement over the previous season in his first year, going from two wins in 2006 to seven in ’07. In 2008, Aurich guided Albright to a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship, its first since 1997.   Aurich, who began his coaching journey in 2006 at his high school alma mater, Concordia Academy, played collegiately at Princeton as an offensive lineman. During his time in the orange and black, Aurich helped the Tigers go from two wins his sophomore season to five a year later, before the team was victorious seven times his senior campaign. The seven wins in 2005 were the most by a Princeton team since ‘95. Aurich later graduated from the school in the spring of 2006.   Aurich and his wife, Michelle, have a daughter, Aria, and two sons, Axel and Ace.

Laura Bellamy '13 returned to Harvard in August of 2023 to become the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey. The Crimson demonstrated significant progress in Bellamy's second season at the helm in 2024-25. The team not only defeated a pair of ranked opponents in No. 8 Connecticut and No. 15 Yale but also showed major progression statistically. During the season, Harvard allowed 28 fewer goals to opponents and improved its penalty killing percentage by 12 points compared to the 2023-24 campaign. Under Bellamy's guidance, Harvard also set a new program record in blocked shots at 536. Off the ice, the Crimson set a new standard of academic excellence, posting a 3.66 team GPA while earning 11 ACHA Scholar All-America honors and 19 ECAC All-Academic Team awards.  In her first season at the helm of Harvard women's ice hockey, Bellamy guided the Crimson to five victories. Bellamy and the Crimson made history at the 2024 Women's Beanpot by becoming the first college women's ice hockey team to record a win at the TD Garden after upsetting the No. 13 Boston College Eagles in the consolation round. Bellamy recorded her first career head coaching victory against another Beanpot rival, Boston University, on Nov. 14, 2023.    Bellamy began her second stint in Cambridge after eight seasons on staff at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). After arriving in The North Star State as an assistant coach in 2015, Bellamy was elevated to the associate head coach role prior to the 2019 season. During her eight years in Duluth, Bellamy helped transform the Bulldogs into a national power, securing four NCAA tournament berths and two Frozen Four appearances, and a finish as the national runner-up in 2022. UMD was consistently ranked inside the national top 15 under and earned its highest ranking in program history after earning a No. 4 ranking this past season.   A noted developer of talent, Bellamy coached 10 Olympians, two Patty Kazmaier Top-3 Finalists, seven All-Americans, two Hockey Humanitarian Award Finalists, 26 All-WCHA Selections, three WCHA Student-Athletes of the Year, one WCHA Player of the Year, two WCHA Defenders of the Year and two WCHA Goaltenders of the Year during her time in Duluth.   Her efforts did not go unnoticed as in 2022 she was named the American Hockey Coaches Association (ACHA) National Assistant Coach of the Year. Now, Bellamy will return to coach the Crimson for a second time, hoping to bring similar success back to Bright-Landry Hockey Center.    After her graduation from Harvard in 2013, Bellamy chose to stay in Cambridge and begin her coaching career with the Crimson. The Duluth native led all video coordination, scouting and training efforts for Harvard, helping lead the team to a run of success during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. In just three years in her role, Harvard earned two NCAA tournament bids and finished as the national runner-up in 2015 after making the Frozen Four.   A former standout herself, Bellamy remains one of Harvard's best goaltenders in its 45-year history. She holds the program record for lowest goals against average in a season (0.92 in 2012-13) and is second in career shutouts (19) and third in wins (60). Additionally, the two-time captain received First-Team All-Ivy recognition in 2012-13. She led Harvard to two NCAA tournament appearances, the 2013 Ivy League title and a 60-25-7 record during her time in Cambridge.  Bellamy also displayed exceptional leadership abilities within the women's hockey program and in the Cambridge community during her four years. Bellamy, who was a co-captain during the 2012-13 season, volunteered for numerous programs around the area. She contributed to such activities as the Cambridge After School Program, Harvard Peer Advising Fellows and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.   Bellamy's coaching expertise has also been on display in the international hockey scene as shown in her participation in Team USA Hockey. The program has invited Bellamy to coach at the USA Hockey Player Development Camp annually since 2014. She also participated as a coach at the USA Hockey Women's National Team Goaltending Camp from 2017-19.   An ambassador and advocate for women's ice hockey, Bellamy has served on several committees, including the ACHA Women's Hockey Bracket Expansion Committee that met in 2021, and successfully expanded the NCAA tournament field from eight to 11 teams.  

Ted Donato '91, The Robert D. Ziff '88 Head Coach for Harvard Men's Ice Hockey, is set to begin his 22nd season at the helm of the Harvard Men's Ice Hockey program in 2025-26. The longtime Harvard coach, meanwhile, added The James Herscot '58 Coach of Excellence to his title in September 2023 for helping the Crimson be successful on and off the ice. Entering the season Donato is just seven wins away from becoming the winngest coach in program history.  Following success as a player at the collegiate, professional and international levels, Ted Donato has piled up a long list of accomplishments in 19 years as head coach at his alma mater. The former Crimson captain has guided Harvard to six 20-win seasons, captured four ECAC Hockey and four Ivy League championships, claimed eight NCAA tournament berths, a Frozen Four appearance, led his team to seven league championship games and seven straight appearances at ECAC Hockey championship weekend, coached 18 All-Americans and 22 National Hockey Leaguers, and set a new standard for wins by a Harvard coach in his first three seasons. Donato registered his 300th career win on January 13th, 2024 against the Yale Bulldogs in a 1-0 win on the road. One of only three coaches in Harvard men's hockey history to reach 300 wins. Donato, who won an NCAA championship as a Crimson player, played in the Olympics and enjoyed a 13-year NHL career, was introduced as the Robert D. Ziff Head Coach of Harvard Men's Ice Hockey July 2, 2004. In 2022-23, Donato led Harvard to the NCAA Tournament for 6th time in the last seven seasons, and the 8th time since he returned to Harvard in 2004, as the Crimson finished the year 24-8-2 (18-4-0 ECAC Hockey). Harvard’s 24 wins were the second-most of any Harvard team since 1994 (only the 2016-17 Frozen Four team had more wins in the last 30 years). Harvard recorded the most ECAC Hockey wins (18) since 1993-94. For the third straight season all players on the roster made the ECAC Hockey All-Academic team. Returning to play after a year away due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021-22, Donato led the Crimson to a 21-11-3 record (14-6-2 ECAC Hockey). Harvard earned the program's 26th NCAA Tournament bid (seventh in the Donato era) by winning its 11th Whitelaw Cup as ECAC Hockey Tournament champions. The Crimson reached 20 wins for the fifth time in the Ted Donato era and won its 24th Ivy League title (fourth in Donato era). Harvard defeated No. 6/6 Quinnipiac, 3-2, in overtime of the ECAC Hockey Championship game in Lake Placid as part of a 12-4-2 run to conclude the season.  Harvard's 2019-20 season was cut short during the postseason, but the Crimson finished the year at 15-10-6, clinching the program's sixth straight winning season. Harvard played the first college hockey games in the state of California since 1999 with the SoCal Clash series against Arizona State in Irvine, and also defeated Yale, 7-0, in the Rivalry on Ice contest at Madison Square Garden. Harvard earned its 25th NCAA Tournament bid (eighth among all Division I programs) and made its fifth consecutive trip to Lake Placid and the ECAC semifinals in 2018-19, becoming just the third team in the last decade to make five straight appearances at the league's championship weekend. Adam Fox was a First Team All-American and the ECAC Hockey Player of the Year, as well as a Hobey Baker Hat Trick finalist (the fourth Hobey Baker top-3 selection in the last five seasons for Harvard). The entire Harvard team earned ECAC Hockey All-Academic honors. In 2017-18, Harvard returned to Lake Placid, Adam Fox and Ryan Donato earned All-America honors, with Donato earning ECAC Hockey Player of the Year and Hobey Baker Award Hat Trick laurels. Harvard also led ECAC Hockey with 30 league All-Academic selections. The 2016-17 season proved to be a banner year for the Crimson. Harvard captured the Beanpot, Ivy League, ECAC regular season and championship titles and reached the NCAA Frozen Four. Harvard also posted 28 victories, the most since the 1989 national championship season. The Crimson reached many of those milestones scoring 4.06 goals per game, the second-highest total in the nation. His success led to a runner-up finish in the voting for the Spencer Penrose Award given to the CCM/AHCA Men’s Hockey Division I Coach of the Year and Ivy League Coach of the Year honors. Donato's student-athletes also accumulated a plethora of end-of-year honors. Freshman defenseman Adam Fox and senior forward Alexander Kerfoot were tabbed All-America, with Fox also earning ECAC Hockey and Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors. The Crimson were also accomplished in the classroom with 25 players earning ECAC Academic Team spots and Thomas Aiken earning the Elite 90 Award as the student-athlete with the top GPA at the Frozen Four.  For the second year in a row, the Crimson played in the ECAC Hockey Tournament championship game and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Harvard's 2015-16 team posted a 19-11-4 record, earned tournament titles at the Shillelagh (Notre Dame) and Mariucci (Minnesota) during the regular season. Donato also led a number of his players to individual accolades. Jimmy Vesey collected the program's fourth Hobey Baker Award as the top player in college hockey, to go with first team All-America honors and the Walter Brown Award. Kyle Criscuolo, the ECAC Student-Athlete of the Year once again, garnered All-ECAC and Ivy League honors, as did linemate Alexander Kerfoot. Desmond Bergin and Merrick Madsen each picked up All-Ivy nods. The 2014-15 season was a return to prominence for the Crimson, as Donato led Harvard to the NCAA Tournament for the 22nd time in program history after capturing the school's ninth ECAC Tournament title. Donato coached six All-Ivy League selections and three ECAC Hockey honorees, including the conference Player of the Year and Hobey Hat Trick finalist, Jimmy Vesey. Junior co-captain Kyle Criscuolo also had a breakout year under Donato's tutelage, finishing second on the team in points, while garnering the program's first ECAC Student-Athlete of the Year award. Donato, a 1991 graduate, is just Harvard's sixth head coach since 1950. He is the eighth Harvard alum to serve as the program's head coach. The appointment is Donato's first coaching position. He did not look like a rookie coach in his debut season behind the bench in 2004-05, leading the Crimson to a 21-10-3 record, runner-up finishes in the ECACHL regular season and tournament and an NCAA tournament appearance. Donato's 2005-06 Harvard squad followed with another 21-win season, captured the ECACHL and Ivy League championships and made another NCAA appearance. Donato is the only head coach to take Harvard to the NCAA tournament in each of his first two years. Donato's teams have shown the tendency to come through in the clutch that was a trademark of his playing career. They have gone 28-6-5 in February home games. The 2007-08 Crimson closed the year on a 10-3-1 run, reaching the finals of the Beanpot and league playoffs. Harvard capped the 2008-09 regular season with a 4-0-2 spurt and then won seven of its final 10 games in 2010-11, winning a road playoff series for the second straight year. Defenseman Noah Welch ’05, goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris ’05, defenseman Danny Biega '13, forward Alex Killorn '12 and forward Jimmy Vesey '16 have all earned All-America status under Donato. Welch, Biega and Killorn went on to skate in the NHL, as did forwards Tom Cavanagh ’05 and Louis Leblanc and defensemen Dylan Reese ’07 and Alex Biega '10. As an undergraduate, Donato etched his name alongside Harvard's all-time greats. He finished his career 11th on the Crimson's career scoring chart (50 goals, 94 assists, 144 points) and remains 12th in that category. He earned All-ECAC and All-Ivy League accolades while serving as the 95th captain of Harvard hockey in his 1990-91 senior season. Donato was named Most Outstanding Player of the 1989 NCAA Frozen Four, where Harvard downed Minnesota, 4-3, in overtime in the NCAA championship game. That contest, held in the Gophers' backyard (St. Paul, Minn.), saw Donato net a pair of goals, one that tied the game at 1-1 midway through the second period and another that gave the Crimson a 3-2 lead with seven minutes to go. Donato scored three goals and added a pair of assists in the tournament. He earned the Donald Angier Hockey Trophy as the team's most improved player in 1989 and accepted the Ralph "Cooney" Weiland Award for spirit and devotion to Harvard hockey in 1991. A native of nearby Dedham, Mass., Donato was a member of seven United States national teams, including the 1992 Olympic team. He tied for the team lead in scoring with four goals and three assists in eight games in the Olympics and posted 11 goals and 22 assists in the pre-Games schedule. He also played in the World Championships in 1997 (4-2-6 in 8 GP), 1999 (2-6-8 in 8 GP) and 2002 (1-3-4 in 7 GP) and in the 1988 World Junior Championship (3-2-5 in 7 GP). Donato was selected by the Boston Bruins in the fifth round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft (98th overall), and he signed with his hometown club in March 1992 following the Olympic Games. His 13-year pro career included stops in New York (with the Rangers and Islanders), Los Angeles, Ottawa, Anaheim and St. Louis. He returned to the Bruins as a free agent in July 2003. His NHL career spanned 796 games, in which he scored 150 goals with 197 assists for 347 points. Donato had eight goals, 18 assists and 26 points in 58 career Stanley Cup playoff games. He scored 25 goals in 1996-97, becoming the first U.S.-born player to lead the Bruins in goals in a season. Donato graduated from Catholic Memorial School as its all-time leading scorer. The son of Michael and Mary Donato, Ted and his three brothers were all active in athletics. Brother Michael played baseball at Princeton; Chris played hockey, baseball and football at Williams; and Dan played hockey and baseball at Boston University. Their sister, Paula, is a plastics engineer. Donato is a resident of Scituate, Mass., with his wife, Jeannine, and their four children: Ryan, Jack, Nolan and Madelyn.

Chris Hamblin became The Branca Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Soccer in March 2016 and will enter his 10th season at the helm of the program in 2024. Hamblin initially joined the Harvard women's soccer staff as an assistant coach on August 22, 2011 and served five seasons in the role prior to his promotion to head coach. In Sept. 2024, Hamblin was named the The Ragatz Family Harvard Coach of Excellence, a title he will hold for the 2024-25 academic year.   During his time leading the program, Hamblin has posted an overall record of 81-35-15 (34-13-9 Ivy League), including four consecutive 12-win seasons in 2019 and 2021-23. The Crimson made its second consecutive trip to the Ivy League Tournament in 2024, winning its final two games of the regular season - Including a come-from-behind win over Yale in the team's final match - to qualify. Harvard won seven games during the campaign that also including five draws against a number of highly ranked opponents. The Crimson, once again, compiled a number of impressive accolades under Hamblin in 2024 most notable posting the second longest shutout streak to begin a season in program history at 441 consecutive minutes. Six players earned All-Ivy accolades after remarkable seasons on the pitch, three of which were First Team selections for Jade Rose, Josefine Hasbo and Áslaug Gunnlaugsdóttir. Rose was also honored as a CSC First-Team Academic All-American after the season.  Hamblin and his group made history during the 2023 season, winning 13 games and capturing the inaugural Ivy League Tournament Championship. The 13-win total was the most for the program since the 1999 season and was driven by a scoring offense that ranked 12th in the nation and atop the Ivy League by scoring 2.53 goals per game. Harvard rose to as high as No. 14 in the NCAA RPI poll and No. 10 in the Top Drawer Soccer Rankings during its historic season. Under his guidance, six players earned All-Ivy honors and two of his players - Josefine Hasbo and Jade Rose - were named All-Americans. Harvard's Ivy League crown gave them it's third consecutive bid to the NCAA Tournament, where it broke a first-round attendance record, packing over 1,600 fans into Jordan Field for the match.  The Crimson continued its rise during the 2022 season, posting a 12-2-3 record that included an unbeaten 5-0-2 mark in Ivy League action.

A dual-threat QB, DePrima finished with a team-best 958 yards passing and 12 TDs, while ranking second in rushing yards (518) and third in rushing touchdowns (5). Jaden Craig, meanwhile, led Harvard to three wins in its final four outings. The sophomore completed a team-high 59.8 percent of his pass attempts for 775 yards and four TDs. Craig was also a threat on the ground, rushing for a team-high seven touchdowns in seven games overall. In 2022, Lamb coached quarterback Charlie Dean to his best season at Harvard. The senior signal caller passed for 2,101 yards and an Ivy League-best 18 touchdowns, numbers that rank eighth and tied for fourth, respectively, in Crimson single-season history. Dean's 12.43 yards per completion in '22, meanwhile, also ranked first in the Ivy. And despite having his career derailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dean finished his career ranked 15th all-time in passing yards (2,705). After Harvard did not compete in 2020 due to the pandemic, Lamb helped the quarterback position overcome injuries as the group helped the team to an 8-2 record in 2021.

Three offensive players were tabbed to the All-Ivy first team, as Harvard ranked 19th in the country in total offense (461.4). The Crimson had the definition of a balanced offense, averaging 230.9 yards per game through the air and 230.5 yards per contest on the ground.

The 39.4 points per game in 2012, which ranked fourth nationally, was driven by the second-highest scoring offense in the nation as the Crimson piled up 487.5 yards per game with a passing efficiency rating of 157.25. Those numbers came a year after the Crimson ranked 11th in scoring offense in 2011.  A 1993 Harvard graduate, Lamb returned to Cambridge in 2006.

The first and second varsity eight earned silver at the IRA Championships, while the third eight claimed the IRA championship title. Lapage also led the Crimson to a sweep at the 158th Harvard-Yale Regatta.   Having coached the 2V since 2017, Lapage has led the Crimson to top-5 national finishes in nine of the last 10 seasons. In his first year directing the group, Harvard finished in fourth place at the 2017 Eastern Sprints and fifth at the IRA National Championship, only to flip the results 12 months later (5th at Eastern Sprints, 4th at IRAs). In 2019, Lapage helped the Crimson win the Eastern Sprints title, the Harvard-Yale race and the Prince Albert Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta. More recently, Lapage coached the boat to a victory at the 2023 Eastern Sprints and a fourth-place performance at IRAs. Prior to taking over the 2V, Lapage coached the 3V and 4V from 2013-16.

Jim Jackson enters his second season as a Harvard Football assistant coach in 2025, and coaches the Crimson offensive line.   Jackson, who played football and baseball at fellow Ivy League member Cornell, brings a wealth of knowledge to Cambridge having coached at nine different collegiate programs (Methodist College, Lehigh, Toledo, Louisiana-Lafayette, Minnesota, Southern Illinois, San Diego, UMass, Rice) during his career. In his first season at Harvard, Jackson helped the Crimson captured its second straight Ivy League championship. The offensive line helped the unit rank second nationally in fewest passes intercepted, 10th in team passing efficiency, 15th in passing offense, 21st in scoring offense and 31st in total offense. Jackson and the O-line's work was rewarded at the end of the season as eight offensive players were named All-Ivy, including offensive linemen Mike Entwistle (first team) and Austin Gentle (second team).   Jackson arrived at Harvard following a 2023 campaign spent as an offensive line coach and run-game coordinator at Cypress Spring (Texas) High in the Houston area, where he helped the Panthers double their win total from the previous season, finishing the campaign with an 8-3 record.   Prior to his successful stint at Cypress Springs, Jackson coached the tight ends at Rice for two seasons. During his time with the Owls, he helped the program increase their win total each year from the season before, with the 2022 campaign culminating in a LendingTree Bowl appearance.     No stranger to the Commonwealth, Jackson spent two years at UMass where he coached the offensive line. In 2019, Jackson rebuilt a unit that lost four of five starters from 2018, but still managed to cut its sacks allowed by 69.2 percent. The 2020 season, meanwhile, was affected by the global pandemic. Before his stint with the Minutemen, Jackson was on staff for five seasons at San Diego, where he served as its offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator. During his time in America’s Finest City, USD went 47-13, including a near-flawless 38-2 in Pioneer Football League action, and reached the NCAA FCS Playoffs four times (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018). The Toreros posted nine wins or more in each of Jackson’s five years in Linda Vista and went 8-0 in PFL play during the 2016-18 campaigns. Individually, Jackson helped Daniel Cooney (OL) become a three-time All-American and Michael Bandy (WR) collect five All-America awards. Ahead of his time at USD, Jackson served as the tight ends coach at Southern Illinois (2010-13) for four seasons and added recruiting coordinator to his duties for his final two years. Under Jackson’s tutelage, MyCole Pruitt became the school’s all-time leader in career receptions and receiving yards by a tight end and finished his time as a two-time All-American.   Jackson’s time in the Midwest began at Minnesota where he served as an assistant offensive line coach from 2007-09. His stint in Minneapolis, which began with the Gophers ranking 10th nationally in fewest sacks allowed, came on the heels of a one-year stint at Louisiana-Lafayette as a defensive graduate assistant (2006), working with the defensive line.   Jackson spent the 2005 season as a graduate assistant (video coordinator/offensive line) at Toledo, one year after he served as an assistant defensive backs coach and assistant video coordinator at Lehigh in 2004. He started his coaching career in 2003 as an outside linebackers coach at Methodist (N.C.) College.   Jackson played two seasons of football at Cornell and was a three-year starter for the baseball team. He also served as team captain for Cornell Baseball before receiving his bachelor's degree in communications in 2003.
