Brendan Nugent enters his first year on the Tribe’s staff as a focused young professional looking to make an impact in working with the team’s tight ends as the offensive assistant.

In addition to working with the tight ends, Nugent will also have duties working with the Tribe’s special teams. He is the staff’s primary recruiter for the state of California and south Florida.

Nugent was exposed to the collegiate game for the past two years by working as the offensive undergraduate assistant on Kirk Ferentz’s staff at the University of Iowa. In this position, Nugent worked directly with Iowa offensive coordinator, Ken O’Keefe, assisting him with day-to-day and game day operations.

Aside from his on-field work with the team’s offense and the defensive scout team, some of his additional responsibilities included playbook and opponent scouting preparation and extensive work with editing instructional footage on the team’s XOS Sagio Video System.

His first job in the coaching ranks came at Archbishop Stepinac High School in his hometown of White Plains, New York, where he served as the Crusaders’ linebacker coach for the 2004 season.

As a player, Nugent lettered three seasons at linebacker at Catholic University of America. He went onto earn his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Iowa in December of 2006.

Nugent is single and resides in Williamsburg.
