Trey Brown begins his fourth season at the helm of the Wilkes football program following his hiring prior to the 2014 season.
In just three years, Brown has coached 22 Colonels who earned All-MAC honors including first team tight end Jeremy Hartman in 2014, Jason Ugwu in 2015 and Garrett Armstrong in 2016. Under Brown's guidance, the Colonels offense ranked in the top five in several offensive statistical categories including passing yards and plays per-game. In a game at Delaware Valley in 2014, the Wilkes offense ran 113 plays, a Division III regulation game record. In 2016, the Colonels recorded one of the biggest upset victories in the program's history when it bested No. 12 Stevenson University 38-35 on the road.
Brown came to Wilkes after four years serving as the quarterbacks and special teams’ coordinator at Muhlenberg. In his role with the Mules, Brown was responsible for coaching the quarterbacks, wide receivers, and special teams as well as the installation of the pass game.
While at Muhlenberg the Mules offense averaged over 417 yards of offense per-game and over 37 points per-contest under the passing attack of Brown. He coached the 2013 Centennial Conference Freshman of the Year in quarterback Nick Palladino as well as mentoring the third most prolific passer in career yardage (5,000 passing yards and 1,200 rushing yards) in conference history in Dan Deighan.
Prior to his time at Muhlenberg, Brown spent four seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Lehigh University. The Mountain Hawk offense scored 30 or more points 15 times during his tenure and led the Patriot League in scoring in 2006, when its quarterback was named to the All-Patriot League first team.
Brown coordinated an offense that averaged 32.3 points in league games in 2008 and 27.3 points in 2009. Lehigh scored more than 80 percent of the time it reached the Red Zone both seasons, including a Patriot League-best 87.9-percent efficiency in 2008.
Before coming to the Lehigh Valley, Brown spent one year with the tight ends and four with the wide receivers at the University of Pennsylvania, where he coached the two most prolific receivers in program history. The Quakers were a combined 40-9 during Brown’s stint and won Ivy League championships in 2002 and 2003, scoring over 40 points per-game on offense.
Prior to his arrival at Penn, Brown spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Stanford University. Brown was part of the 1999 staff named the coaching staff of the year by the Pacific-10 conference after that squad captured a Pac 10 title. The Cardinal boasted an offense that was recognized in the top 10 nationally, and the team appeared in the 2000 Rose Bowl.
A native of Longmont, Colorado, Brown earned his bachelor’s in Marketing from the University of Colorado in 1993 before earning his master’s degree in Health and Physical Education and Recreation from Saint Mary’s College of California in 2003.
Brown became the eighth head coach since the startup of the program in 1946 (68 years).
