STARKVILLE, Miss. –Tom Anagnost has completed the Mississippi State soccer coaching staff with the addition of Jeremy Sullivan as a volunteer assistant coach.
Sullivan spent the past 11 seasons at Austin Peay as an assistant and, later, associate head coach. With the Governors, he coached goalkeepers and coordinated recruiting.
"We are all very happy to have Jeremy in our soccer program," Anagnost said. "He's a wonderful guy who, culturally, fits well with the family environment we have here. He is a hard worker who brings a wealth of Division I experience. He is a great addition who will no doubt help our players, staff and team."
In 2010, the Governors advanced to the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship game after leading the league in goals against average (.687), which ranked No. 23 in the nation, and shutout percentage (.591), which was eighth in the country. Austin Peay set a single-season program record with 13 shutouts.
While at Austin Peay, Sullivan played a large role in recruiting the 2010 class that produced the program's first OVC Freshman of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year, Tatiana Ariza. Her sister, Natalia, was also a three-time first team All-OVC selection and the pair played together for the Colombian national team at the 2012 London Olympics.
"I would like to thank Tom for providing this amazing opportunity to join his staff and become a member of the Bulldog family," Sullivan said. "I've followed Tom's career over the years, and to have the opportunity to grow as a coach under his guidance is just something I couldn't pass up."
Sullivan got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Belmont University in 2005 where he coached the Bruins' goalkeepers. In his two years with the program he also worked as head coach of the Brentwood Eclipse U-13 club team while earning his master's degree in education.
He played collegiately at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Ala., where the Lions finished ranked No. 15 in the nation his sophomore year. Sullivan then transferred to Jacksonville State and completed his degree in recreation administration. As an undergraduate, he served as a student assistant coach for three years with the Gamecocks and was the head coach at the Donoho School.
Sullivan holds an Advanced National Diploma from the United Soccer Coaches Association and a Class B license from the USSF. He comes to Starkville along with his wife, Jessica, and their two daughters Lyla and Remi.
