Andrew Neupert returned to Statesboro in 2026 as the outside linebackers coach for the Georgia Southern football squad after a successful season coaching the same position in defensive coordinator Mike Mutz’s defense at Stephen F. Austin.
In 2025, no team in the country spent more time in opponents’ backfields than the ‘Jacks, as SFA led the FCS in tackles for loss per game (8.7) and carried a top-10 mark nationally in sacks per game (3.0). SFA recorded 122.0 total tackles for loss for 450 loss yards as SFA went on an 11-game winning streak during the season to finish seventh in the country. Under his tutelage, Aaron Austin earned first-team All-Southland Conference honors after posting 10.0 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks.
Prior to his time at SFA, Neupert spent two seasons at Nicholls as the tight ends coach and co-special teams coordinator, helping lead the Colonels to a Southland Conference title and FCS Playoff appearance in 2023.
In 2022, he worked at Georgia Southern as a defensive graduate assistant, working with the Eagles’ outside linebackers. That year, the Eagles’ outside linebacker core tallied double-digit sacks and tackles for loss. Neupert also helped develop Justin Ellis into an All- Sun Belt player who had a team-high 10 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.
During the 2021 season, Neupert worked with the LSU defensive line as a graduate assistant. There he coached 2022 NFL draftees Neil Farrell Jr. (DT/4th Round) and Andre Anthony (DE/7th Round). The Tigers defense finished the year tied 24th in the nation with 38 total sacks and tied for 12th in the nation with 98 total tackles for loss to lead them to bowl eligibility.
Before arriving at LSU, Neupert coached the 2020 season at Tulane University as a defensive graduate assistant. There he helped the Green Wave defense gain national rankings of third most sacks and tackles for loss in the regular season. Neupert also coached NFL draftee Cam Sample (DE/4th Round) during his senior season. In 2020 Sample earned first-team All-AAC Conference honors and a PFF All-American Honorable Mention.
In 2019 Neupert served as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Louisiana Monroe. During his lone season at ULM, Neupert helped direct the Warhawks to 20 sacks which tied for fourth in the Sun Belt. He also coached Sun Belt All-Conference honorees Larance Shaw and Donald Louis.
Prior to his tenure at ULM, Neupert spent two seasons at Millsaps College where he served as the inside linebackers coach for the 2017 and 2018 season. There he coached two time SAA All-Conference linebacker Reid Evans and second-team SAA All-Conference linebacker Chandler Coleman.
Neupert joined the Majors after spending one season at Nicholls State. While at Nicholls, he aided the defensive staff with film breakdown and assisted with coaching the defensive backfield unit that led the Southland Conference in interceptions.
Before arriving at Nicholls, Neupert coached the offensive line at his alma mater, Archbishop Rummel High School in Louisiana in 2015. He helped lead the Raiders to a phenomenal 11-2 season where they were New Orleans Catholic League champions, Louisiana state champion runners-up, and they were nationally ranked in the top 25 by both USA Today and Max Preps.
In 2013, Neupert began his coaching career with the Archbishop Rummel’s Junior High football team where he was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. That team finished the season with a 7-2-1 record and pitched four consecutive shutouts to opposing offenses. Also in 2013, Neupert spent the spring and summer working as a football operations intern with the Arena Football League’s New Orleans VooDoo.
A native to New Orleans, Neupert graduated from the Tulane University in 2021, with a master’s degree in sport studies and University of New Orleans in 2016, with his bachelor’s degree in secondary education.
