Ithaca College head football coach Dan Swanstrom added Brody Trahan to his staff as the new linebackers coach in June of 2017.
"We are very excited to have Brody join our staff as our linebackers coach,” said Swanstrom. “He is from a football family and it was very clear that he is committed to the values of our program."
Trahan played an integral role in the defense's success in 2017 as he mentored three linebackers to all-conference recognition. Kenny Bradley '18 and Dan Loizos '18 started every game as middle linebackers and reach recorded 85 tackles on the season. Pat Minogue '19 finished fourth on the squad with 71 tackles.
Trahan, a 2012 and 2014 graduate of Baylor University, has served as a graduate assistant and defensive analyst at his alma mater for the past three seasons. During that time, he coached the outside linebackers and nickel position, as well as broke down opponents’ defensive and special teams video, and assisted in recruiting coordination with video analysis of high school prospects.
Trahan began his career at Baylor as a quarterback but made the transition to linebacker and special teams contributor. He would letter all four seasons and was a team captain during the 2013 season. Trahan played in 52 career games from 2010-13 and made 104 tackles, including 42 during his senior campaign for the Big 12 Conference champions. In that season, Trahan recorded nine tackles in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl against Central Florida.
