NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Stephen F. Austin football team and head coach Colby Carthel announced the hiring of Andrew Neupert as the Outside Linebackers Coach for the 2025 season.
Neupert comes to SFA from fellow Southland opponent Nicholls State University where he served for two seasons as both a Tight Ends coach and Co-Special Teams Coordinator for the 2023-2024 seasons.
Before coaching at Nicholls, Neupert spent the 2022 season at Georgia Southern University where he served as a graduate assistant coaching outside linebackers for the Eagles football program. That year, the Eagles outside linebacker core tallied double-digit sacks and tackles for loss. Neupert also helped develop Justin Ellis into a Sun Belt All-Conference Honor nominee.
Prior to his time with Georgia Southern, Neupert worked with the LSU defensive line as a graduate assistant where he coached 2022 NFL draftees Neil Farrell Jr (DT/4thRound) and Andre Anthony (DE/7th Round) along with 2023 NFL draftees BJ Ojulari (DE/2nd Round) and Jaquelin Roy (DT/5th Round). The Tigers defense finished the year tied for 24th in the nation with 38 total sacks and tied for 12th in the nation with 98 total tackles for loss to lead them to bowl eligibility.
Before arriving at LSU, Neupert coached the 2020 season at Tulane University as a defensive graduate assistant. He helped the Green Wave defense gain national rankings for the third-most sacks and tackles for loss in the regular season. Neupert also coached NFL draftee Cam Sample (DE/4th Round) during his senior season. In 2020, Sample earned first-team All-AAC Conference honors and a PFF All-American Honorable Mention.
In 2019, Neupert served as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Louisiana Monroe. During his lone season at ULM, Neupert helped direct the Warhawks to 20 sacks, which tied for fourth in the Sun Belt. He also coached 2021 undrafted free agent Defensive End Ty Shelby (Los Angeles Chargers) and Sun Belt All-Conference honorees Larance Shaw and Donald Louis. Before his tenure at ULM, Neupert spent two seasons at Millsaps College where he served as the inside linebackers coach for the 2017 and 2018 season. There he coached two-time SAA All-Conference linebacker Reid Evans and second-team SAA All-Conference linebacker Chandler Coleman.
Neupert joined the Majors after spending one season at Nicholls. While at Nicholls, he aided the defensive staff with film breakdown and assisted with coaching the defensive backfield unit that led the Southland Conference in interceptions.
Neupert coached the offensive line at his alma mater, Archbishop Rummel High School in Louisiana in 2015. He helped lead the Raiders to a phenomenal 11-2 season where they were New Orleans Catholic League champions, Louisiana state champion runners-up, and were nationally ranked in the top 25 by both USA Today and Max Preps.
In 2013, Neupert began his coaching career with Archbishop Rummel's Junior High football team where he was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. That team finished the season with a 7-2-1 record and pitched four consecutive shutouts to opposing offenses. Also in 2013, Neupert spent the spring and summer working as a football operation intern with the Arena Football League's New Orleans VooDoo.
A native of New Orleans, Neupert graduated from Tulane University in 2021 with a master's degree in sports studies and graduated from the University of New Orleans in 2016 with his bachelor's degree in secondary education.
