Brad Sherrod, a veteran coach with more than 30 years of experience across the FBS, FCS, and NAIA levels, brings championship leadership, proven program development, and sustained success to his new role.
Sherrod most recently served as head football coach at Texas Wesleyan University, where he quickly elevated the Rams into one of the NAIA’s top programs. In his debut season (2024), he led Texas Wesleyan to a historic 10–1 overall record, a perfect 8–0 conference mark, and the program’s first Sooner Athletic Conference championship. The Rams advanced to the second round of the NAIA Playoffs and ranked among the nation’s top scoring offenses. In his second season, Sherrod continued his success by guiding Texas Wesleyan to a share of the conference championship, and a second consecutive NAIA Playoff appearance — marking the first back-to-back postseason berths in program history.
Prior to Texas Wesleyan, Sherrod spent three seasons at UTSA, helping lead the Roadrunners through one of the most successful stretches in program history. UTSA captured back-to-back conference championships, earned multiple national Top-25 rankings, and made three consecutive bowl appearances. His linebacking units were central to a defense that ranked nationally in takeaways, rushing defense, sacks, and tackles for loss.
Sherrod’s coaching résumé also includes roles at Wake Forest, Sam Houston State, Delaware, Elon, Tennessee State, Western Carolina, East Tennessee State, and UMass. As a coordinator and position coach, he has helped teams achieve conference titles, playoff appearances, bowl victories, and national rankings while developing All-Americans, all-conference performers, and NFL talent.
A former team captain at Duke University, Sherrod earned second-team All-ACC and Academic All-ACC honors. He holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Duke and a master’s degree in sport management from Western Carolina University.
Sherrod and his wife, Monique, have two children, Elijah and Angelena.
