Clay White
Head Coach
Clay White was named head coach of the University of Pennsylvania men’s golf program in August 2022. White came to Penn as the reigning Big East and Northeast Regional Coach of the Year after leading Seton Hall University to the 2022 Big East championship. White spent 18 years as head coach of the Pirates. Seton Hall won its first Big East title in 22 years in 2022, then finished eighth out of 12 teams at the NCAA New Haven Regional, after being seeded 12th. At the Regional, Seton Hall bested #27 NC State and #31 Charlotte. The Pirates also won three events as a team in 2022, including the Daniel Island Invitational where they beat a pair of top-50 programs in Virginia and Florida State. Seton Hall was ranked 87th in the final GolfStat rankings out of 295 programs. White led Seton Hall to a Big East runner-up finish in 2017, falling to Marquette by one stroke. Lloyd Jefferson Go repeated as the Big East Player of the Year that season and made his second straight individual NCAA appearance. Two of White’s recruits earned Big East Freshman of the Year honors and three were Big East individual runner-up. In the last five contested Big East Championships under White, Seton Hall finished first, third (twice), fourth and second out of nine teams. The Pirates had 25 All-American Scholars and more than 100 members of the Big East All-Academic team during White’s tenure. Men’s golf also received the APR Public Recognition Award eight times, and 100 percent of SHU’s men’s golf student-athletes graduated during White’s 18 years at the helm. When White arrived at Seton Hall in 2003, he began as the equipment manager for Seton Hall's varsity teams, a position he held until 2014 in addition to his coaching duties. He previously served two years as the assistant director of equipment at Ohio University. While in Ohio, White was the head girls’ volleyball coach of the Ohio Juniors Volleyball Club 14-and-under team, one of several coaching positions White has held during his career. His experiences encompass a variety of sports, including collegiate softball and collegiate volleyball. White got his start in coaching at Humboldt State University, where he was the assistant women's softball coach from 1993-95 and the assistant volleyball coach from 1995-97. In December of 1997, he assumed the role of assistant athletic equipment manager at Humboldt State and served in that capacity until 2000. White also was the head coach of the volleyball team at the College of the Redwoods from 1997-00. White graduated from Humboldt State in Arcata, California with a bachelor's degree in physical education with an emphasis in teaching and coaching. What They Are Saying About Clay White… "Having known and coached against Clay for eighteen years, I'm excited to have him join the Ivy League. He has proven himself to be an exceptional recruiter, motivator and coach, and he understands and supports the values that the League espouses and promotes. I'm confident he'll be a great asset to Penn Golf." Will Green, J. Stuart Francis '74 Head Coach of Men's Golf, Princeton University "I've always admired Clay and the program he ran at Seton Hall. He's always recruited terrific players and quality individuals. We always enjoyed being paired with Clay and his team. I was particularly impressed with what his team accomplished at the NCAA Regional Tournament at Yale this past spring. With that performance, he earned my vote for Northeast Regional Coach of the Year. He will do great things at Penn. He is kind, caring, and takes pride in what he does. I wish him all the best!" Colin Sheehan, Head Coach of Men's Golf, Yale University "Clay is a man of integrity, passion, and drive. I think those three ingredients make for a successful coach. He's been a great colleague in the Big East and we will miss him and wish him the best!" Tommy Hunter, Head Coach of Men's Golf and Director of Special Projects at Georgetown University "Clay is one of the finest people in college golf, and a direct reflection of that is the players who have gone on to graduate from his program. Not only has he been successful on the golf course, but the way his players carry themselves is a reflection of him as a person and the standards he's created and upheld at Seton Hall. I'm happy for his next step and know he will continue to do great things in the Ivy League." Steve Bailey, Head Coach of Men's Golf, Marquette University

Jon Dupont, who has served as an assistant coach for Penn football for the past 20 years, is in his first season as the William R. Wagner Head Coach of Sprint Football at Penn in 2026. During his tenure, Dupont helped the Quakers win five Ivy League championships and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator for the past two seasons. “We are excited to have Jon take the reins of our sprint football program,” said Alanna Wren, the T. Gibbs Kane, Jr. W’69 Director of Athletics and Recreation. “Jon has developed meaningful relationships with student-athletes and high school coaches during his career, is a skilled tactician, and has significant institutional knowledge from his 20 years on the Penn football staff. He will bring energy and enthusiasm as he tackles this new challenge with sprint football, and we look forward to increased competitiveness within the CSFL under his leadership.” Dupont arrived in University City in 2006 as the program’s defensive backs coach, helping Penn to Ivy titles in 2009, 2010, and 2012 under head coach Al Bagnoli. He later moved to linebackers coach and was on staff for Penn’s 2015 and 2016 Ivy championships under head coach Ray Priore. He was elevated to recruiting coordinator in 2024.

I am also deeply appreciative of my family, whose unwavering support throughout this process has meant everything to me. Penn Sprint Football has a proud and historic tradition, and I am incredibly excited to build upon that foundation. I look forward to leading our student athletes as we pursue competitive excellence on and off the field.” A skilled recruiter with national connections, Dupont helped secure the #12-ranked FCS recruiting class in 2017. He was the primary recruiter for current NFL wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl Champion Justin Watson, a 2017 Penn graduate, and Joey Slackman, who won the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year in 2023.

Any team he leads will be stronger because of the relationships he builds." - Joey Slackman C’23, Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year (2023) "As a former Penn Football captain, I know the importance of focused leadership within successful football programs. Coach Dupont brings the vision, discipline, and commitment to student-athlete development needed to elevate Sprint Football and build a culture that players are proud to be part of both during and long beyond their last snap as a Penn athlete." - Brandon Copeland W’13, Three-time All-Ivy, NFL linebacker (2013-22)

Rick Santos
Head Coach
Rick Santos, who guided New Hampshire to three NCAA FCS Playoff appearances as head coach and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in FCS history, has been named the George A. Munger Head Football Coach at the University of Pennsylvania. Santos will be formally introduced to the Penn community on Tuesday, December 16, at a press conference beginning at 1 p.m. in the Li Family Auditorium within the Coulson Family Training Complex at Franklin Field. The event will be streamed live on the Penn Sports Network. "We are thrilled to welcome a high-energy, dynamic leader in Rick Santos as the next head coach of Penn Football," Alanna Wren, the T. Gibbs Kane, Jr. W'69 Director of Athletics and Recreation said. "He is a proven winner, taking New Hampshire to multiple NCAA FCS Playoff appearances, and is considered one of the best players in FCS history as a former Walter Payton Award winner. I am confident Rick will have Penn competing for Ivy League championships and postseason appearances in the near future." "I am incredibly excited and humbled by the opportunity to lead the football program at the University of Pennsylvania," Santos said. "Penn represents excellence at the highest level—academically, athletically, and institutionally—and I am grateful for the trust placed in me to steward such a proud and prestigious program. The chance to work with outstanding student-athletes at a world-class institution, while competing for championships and developing leaders for life, is truly special. I cannot wait to begin this next chapter and fully embrace the Penn football community." Over five seasons as head coach, Santos led the Wildcats to a 37–24 overall record and a 28–12 mark in the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA), earning NCAA FCS Playoff berths in 2022, 2024, and 2025. In his first season at the helm, he guided UNH to a share of the CAA title, a No. 15 national ranking, and a berth in the second round of the FCS Playoffs. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the University of New Hampshire, a place that has truly been home to me in every sense of the word," Santos continued. "From my time as a student-athlete, to serving as an assistant coach, and ultimately having the honor of leading the program as head coach, UNH has shaped me both professionally and personally. I will forever be grateful to the Wildcat family—our players, staff, alumni, and supporters—for the unwavering support, trust, and belief they showed in me and my family. The relationships built and the memories created in Durham will always hold a special place in my heart." In 2025, New Hampshire won its final five regular-season games, including a victory over No. 6 Monmouth, to secure an at-large playoff bid. It marked the program's third season with eight or more wins in the past four years. Santos has spent the majority of his collegiate coaching career at New Hampshire. He served as wide receivers coach and punt return coordinator from 2013–15, associate head coach and quarterbacks coach from 2018–19 and 2020–21, and interim head coach in 2019. During his early tenure as an assistant, the Wildcats made FCS Playoff appearances in 2013 and 2014, won the 2014 CAA Championship, and ascended to a No. 1 national ranking. From 2016–18, Santos worked at Columbia as quarterbacks coach and pass-game coordinator under former Penn head coach Al Bagnoli, helping the Lions to an 8–2 record and 5–2 Ivy League finish in 2017. As a quarterback at New Hampshire from 2004–07, Santos established himself as one of the most accomplished players ever at the FCS level. He won the 2006 Walter Payton Award as the nation's top offensive player after throwing for 3,125 yards and 29 touchdowns. A three-time All-American, three-time Atlantic 10/CAA Offensive Player of the Year, and four-time all-conference selection, he still holds UNH career records for passing attempts (1,498), completions (1,024), and passing yards (12,189). Santos led the Wildcats to four NCAA Division I-AA/FCS Playoff appearances, compiling a 37–14 record. UNH won the 2005 Atlantic 10 Championship and climbed to No. 1 nationally and also captured the Atlantic 10 Northern Division titles in 2004 and 2006. A native of Norwood, Massachusetts, Santos graduated from UNH in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology.

Justin Stovall
Associate Head Coach
Justin Stovall is no stranger to the Ivy League, coming to University City after 11 seasons at Columbia, serving as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator the past three campaigns. Stovall’s defense was a key component to Columbia capturing the 2024 Ivy League title. The Lions allowed just 16.1 points per game – good for No. 2 in FCS and led the Ivy League in four categories (scoring defense, red zone defense, passing defense, passing efficiency defense) en route to a 7-3 overall mark and 5-2 record in Ivy League play. Under his guidance, defensive back Hayden McDonald earned All-America honors from five different publications/organizations. McDonald led the conference with five interceptions and was the program’s first-ever defensive finalist for the Bushnell Cup, given to the Ivy League’s top offensive and defensive player. Additionally, six of Columbia’s 11 starters on defense picked up All-Ivy League honors, highlighted by first-team selections for McDonald and defensive lineman Ben Corniello. In 2023, Stovall’s defense was one of the top units in the country, holding opponents to 18.2 points per game – good for No. 10 in FCS and first in the Ivy League. The Lions posted a pair of shutouts against Georgetown and Marist, which was the most in a season for Columbia since 1972 and marked the first back-to-back home shutouts since 1951. The Lions were also fourth in the nation in red zone defense (66.7 percent) and led the Ancient Eight in defensive touchdowns (two). Individually, linebacker Anthony Roussos emerged as a first-team All-Ivy League selection after posting 93 tackles, which were among the top 10 nationally and second in the conference. Justin Townsend continued to be one of the premier pass rushers in the conference on his way to second-team all-league honors. Townsend tied for the Ivy League lead in sacks (7.5) and posted 12 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, which was second in the Ancient Eight. In 2022, the Columbia defense finished the season ranked fifth in the FCS in rushing defense as the Lions gave up an average of just 3.17 yards per rush and 98 yards per game, which led the conference. The Lions also showed an uncanny knack for getting off the field, leading the Ancient Eight in third-down defense (36.1 percent) and ranked No. 1 in FCS in fourth-down defense (20.0 percent). Columbia also scored defensive touchdowns in three straight games in 2022 for the first time in program history. The three defensive scores led the Ivy League and set a new program record. Stovall coached four All-Ivy League honorees in his first season leading the defense, including Scott Valentas, a unanimous First Team All-Ivy Defense selection. Valentas had a great season as he ranked third in the Ivy League with 9.3 tackles per game. Valentas led the league in passes defended at 1.3 per game and interceptions with four total. Stovall also helped Townsend earn Second-Team All-Ivy Defense honors, while Fara’ad McCombs and Seth Parker were recognized as Honorable Mention All-Ivy. Townsend totaled six sacks, which ranked fourth in the Ivy League. He also led the team in tackles for loss with 9.5. In the 2021 season, Mike Roussos, who earned first-team All-Ivy League honors, finished ranked 14th nationally and third in the league in punt return average and 18th in the nation in combined kick return average (547). Along with Roussos’ honors, linebackers Cam Dillon and Scott Valentas earned second-team honors, and punter Drew Schmid gained honorable mention. As a kickoff unit, the team finished seventh in the nation in kickoff return yards average (25.08) and first in the league. Under Stovall from 2015-19, Columbia established 44 new team and individual special teams school records, led the league 13 times in various special teams categories, including blocked kicks, kickoff return average, punt return average, net punting average, kickoff coverage, on-side kicks, and PAT kicking, and also ranked among the top-20 national leaders in 21 different categories. Meanwhile, a total of three placekickers, four punters, and two return specialists have earned All-Ivy League honors during that span, and four punters graduated from Columbia and pursued a fifth year of NCAA eligibility at various Southeastern Conference schools (Cameron Nizialek, Parker Thome, Matthew Panton, and Oren Milstein). Stovall arrived at Columbia after spending the 2014 season in the same capacity at Valparaiso. The Crusaders finished the season ranked first in the conference in punt return average (14.9 yds), kickoff return average (21.8 yds), blocked kicks (six), and special teams touchdowns (three). Valpo's kickoff return unit paved the way for Jarrett Morgan, as a freshman, to lead the FCS in kickoff return average (34.9 yds). Before his one season at Valparaiso, Stovall served as the Outside Linebackers Coach at Lehigh during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The Mountain Hawks finished 10-1 with a nine-game win streak in 2012 and compiled an 8-3 record in 2013. In 2011, Stovall served as a defensive assistant at Villanova, where he assisted the defensive and special teams coordinators in all areas, organized the scout team offense and special teams, and worked with all aspects of film. Before Villanova, Stovall coached linebackers at Franklin and Marshall College for three seasons (2009-11), while assisting the defensive coordinator. He assisted in the development of the linebackers and helped implement defensive game plans. Stovall was then promoted to Special Teams Coordinator in April of 2011, developing and implementing punt return schemes while working with the specialists. He also had extensive recruiting responsibilities. A four-year letterwinner and three-time Patriot League Champion at Lafayette College from 2003-06, Stovall helped lead the Leopards to league titles and FCS Playoff berths in each of his final three seasons. A senior captain in 2006, Stovall saw action in 46 of 47 career games at both linebacker and on special teams. A Melbourne, Fla. native, Stovall graduated from Lafayette in 2007 as an Economics and Business major.

In his first season as offensive coordinator in 2019, Josephson led a Blue Jay offense that averaged 36.4 points and 459.3 yards per game. Both of those averages rank among the top 10 in program history as the 459.3 yards rank ninth and the 36.4 points rank 10th. Josephson’s offense also cracked the program’s top 10 in passing yards (3,530/4th) and touchdown passes (27/T5th) while five of his players earned All-Centennial Conference honors. In 2018, under the direction of head coach David Shaw, Josephson served as a graduate assistant at Stanford and worked with the Cardinal secondary. He assisted in all facets of game-planning, film breakdown and data analysis and worked closely with First Team All-Pac-12 defensive back Paulson Adebo, who led the nation with 24 pass breakups in 2018. Stanford posted a 9-4 record, including a 6-3 mark in the Pac-12, and defeated Pitt in the Sun Bowl. Josephson had previously served as an assistant coach at Johns Hopkins from 2015-17 and helped guide the Blue Jays to a three-year record of 31-4, including a 29-1 mark in the regular season. The Blue Jays won the outright Centennial Conference title in 2015 and 2016 and shared the title in 2017. Johns Hopkins advanced to the NCAA Playoffs in each of those three seasons with appearances in the second round in 2015 and 2016. During this span Josephson served as the special teams coordinator (2017) after assisting with special teams in 2015 and 2016. He also coached the Blue Jay wide receivers (2016) defensive backs (2015, 2017) and oversaw the team’s recruiting efforts during his final year. Josephson originally joined the Johns Hopkins coaching staff in 2013 after his playing career was cut short by an injury. Undaunted, he continued his contribution to the program by quickly becoming a valuable student assistant - immersing himself in all aspects of the coaching staff. He also spent the spring of 2017 as an offensive assistant at Yale.
