Shealy arrives at Texas Tech following two years in a similar role at East Carolina
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech head coach Matt Wells announced Tuesday the hiring of Kate Shealy to the Red Raider football staff as Director of Recruiting Operations.
Â
Shealy, a Houston native, arrives in Lubbock following two-plus years at East Carolina where she was responsible for many of the behind-the-scenes aspects of the Pirates' recruiting operation. She assisted with budget management and recruiting-related travel support while at East Carolina, many of the same duties she will have now with the Red Raiders.
Â
"We are fortunate to have Kate join our staff in this important role," Wells said. "Kate has been around football her entire life and will be a tremendous addition to our recruiting staff with Preston (Pehrson) and Beau (Davidson). We're excited to welcome her to the Red Raider family."
Â
In addition to her recruiting duties, Shealy also assisted with the operation needs for the football program while at East Carolina, which included the coordination of home and road game logistics such as meals and facility preparation.
Â
Prior to joining the Pirates, Shealy was a gameday events manager for the Division of Student Affairs at Clemson during the 2018 football season. That position followed successive summer stints as an administrative staff assistant for both the Tigers' player development efforts and Dabo Swinney camps.
Â
Shealy earned her bachelor's degree in kinesiology/sports management from Houston Baptist in May 2018. She spent four years assisting the Huskies football staff with recruiting and operations support as an undergraduate beginning in 2014 under her father Vic Shealy, who was named Houston Baptist's first-ever head coach only two years earlier.
