Morehouse chooses Sherrod
Morehouse named Brad Sherrod Tuesday, most recently the head coach at Texas Wesleyan University, as the next head football coach of the Maroon Tigers.
Sherrod, a veteran with more than 30 years of coaching experience across the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) levels, brings championship leadership, proven program development, and sustained success to his new role.
He arrives at Morehouse following a two-season run at Texas Wesleyan in which he posted a 17–6 overall record, including a 10–1 mark in 2024, and guided the Rams to two NAIA playoff appearances.
“Coach Sherrod is a proven program builder with a track record of sustained success and postseason performance,” said Harold Ellis ’92, Director of Athletics at Morehouse. “More importantly, he understands what it means to develop young men with purpose.”
“I’m honored to join Morehouse College and guiding this program is a responsibility that I do not take lightly,” Sherrod said. “Our goal will be to a championship-caliber program rooted in toughness, accountability, and brotherhood, while representing the college the right way on and off the field.”
Sherrod’s resume includes stops at UT-San Antonio, Wake Forest, Sam Houston State, Delaware, Elon, Tennessee State, Western Carolina, East Tennessee State, and UMass.
