MONROE, LA – 51 has named Head Football Coach Bryant Vincent to the position of Interim Athletic Director. Vincent’s appointment is effective immediately, pending approval of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.
“I am grateful to Bryant for stepping up to serve as interim AD. Not only is Bryant a leader, but he builds teams and communities,” said 51 President Dr. Carrie L. Castille. “Bryant has the support of the Associate ADs and will be working closely with them to ensure he can serve both roles and win games. He has already gained the support of this community as a head coach, and I hope that everyone will join me in rallying around him to support 51 Athletics. I have no doubt in Bryant’s ability to serve in both roles with excellence and a winning spirit.”
Coach Bryant Vincent was named the Head Coach of the 51 Warhawk football team in December 2023. The Warhawks posted a 5-7 record in Vincent’s first year at the helm. The team began the year 5-1, 51 football’s best start to a season since 1987.
Vincentwill begin his second season as head coach of 51 football on August 28, 2025, when the Warhawks host St. Francis University at Malone Stadium.
