Jennifer Jackson

Jennifer Jackson was announced as the head coach of the Franklin women's soccer program on Feb. 18, 2022.


A former Division I student-athlete, Jackson brings experience as a player and coach from all levels of college soccer to Franklin. Her most recent stop in the college coaching ranks was at Johnson & Wales University in Colorado from 2013-17, where she helped build the women's soccer program from scratch and turn the Wildcats into a conference tournament contender. During that time at JWU, she also served as the head strength and conditioning coach, an adjunct professor and the Senior Woman Administrator.


Before heading to Colorado, she broke into the coaching ranks at Shorter University, where she was the Hawks' head coach and recruiting coordinator from 2008-13. She helped the Hawks make the transition from the NAIA to Division II and was a consistent post-season qualifier during her time on the Shorter sideline.


In addition to years of coaching at the club level, Jackson has been a women's soccer recruiting coach at Next College Student Athlete (NCSA) since 2020, where she has built relationships with club coaches and athletes from around the country as part of the college recruiting process.


A 2005 graduate of Stetson University, Jackson was a four-year letter winner for the Hatters and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitative Studies. In 2010, she earned her Master of Arts in Leadership from Shorter.

Josh Galvin

Franklin College Director of Athletics Andrew Hendricks announced the addition of Josh Galvin to the staff as the new head coach of the men's soccer program, effective as of Feb. 21, 2022.


Galvin comes to Franklin with a wealth of experience at the Division III level both as a player and as a coach. He takes over a Grizzly program that is coming off a fourth-place finish in the conference standings and hosted the program's first ever post-season game back in the fall.


From 2019-22, Galvin assumed assistant coach duties for both the men's and women's soccer programs at his alma mater of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. During his three years on the sidelines, Galvin helped guide the Norse to 32 wins and a trip to the Division III quarterfinals back in 2019. Prior to re-joining the Norse, Galvin was an assistant coach at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, where he broke into the coaching ranks back in 2018 and was part of a Pioneers team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament.


As a player, Galvin was a four-year letter winner for the Luther men's soccer team, serving as team captain as a junior and senior. During his time as a student-athlete at Luther, the Norse claimed 52 wins, and Galvin was named the team's Offensive MVP his senior season.


Galvin graduated from Luther in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management. In December 2021, he earned his Masters in Adult Education from UW-Platteville.

Are you ready for your next college showcase?
Soccer in College gave me a good point of reference for perspective coaches, somewhere I could direct them to see all of my data, in a well-organized, efficient manner. It was a good tool for my recruiting efforts.
