Kate Eberhardt
- Title:
- Director of Recruiting Operations
Kate Eberhardt enters her fifth season on the Texas Tech staff where she serves as Director of Recruiting Operations. Eberhardt (formerly Shealy) has been instrumental in helping the Red Raiders land top-25 recruiting classes, planning and executing not only coaches’ travel but also that of prospective student-athletes.
Eberhardt arrived in Lubbock prior to the 2021 season 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 has with the Red Raiders.
In addition to her recruiting duties, Eberhardt 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.
Prior to joining the Pirates, Eberhardt 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.
Eberhardt 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.
Eberhardt, a native of Houston, and her husband, Alex, are expecting their first child this fall.
