Trent Vasey

Title:
Assistant Running Backs Coach

Trent Vasey enters his third season on the Texas Tech coaching staff and his first as the assistant running backs coach. He was previously an offensive graduate assistant the past two seasons working with the Red Raider wide receivers.

This is Vasey’s second stint in the Big 12 Conference as he served in a similar role at Kansas during the 2021 season. Vasey also worked with the wide receiver group for a Kansas program in its first season under Lance Leipold, one that ended with a late November victory over Texas in Austin.

Kansas was Vasey’s first position at the FBS level after serving as the tight ends and recruiting coordinator at Stonehill College in his home state of Massachusetts for the 2019-20 seasons. Vasey added recruiting coordinator responsibilities to his duties for his second season with the Skyhawks after previously serving as the video coordinator for the 2019 campaign. Prior to that, Vasey was a graduate assistant coach at Alfred University in New York, working with both the tight end and running back rooms during his two seasons.

Vasey joined the coaching profession following a successful playing career as a four-year member of the football program at Western New England University. Vasey garnered all-conference accolades at tight end during his playing career, helping lead the Golden Bears to a New England Football Conference title and a NCAA Division III playoff appearance each of his final two seasons in 2015 and 2016.

During his collegiate career, Vasey also served as the assistant director and coach of the Blue Chip Football Academy and Bulldog Football School. He also completed a coaching internship at Dean College during the summer of 2015 and was an administrative intern for the entire athletics department the following summer.

Vasey earned his undergraduate degree in sports management from Western New England in May 2017 and later his master’s degree in business administration from Alfred in 2019.
