Following an extensive interview process, Delta State University Director of Athletics Mike Kinnison has announced Austin Jackman will serve as the next head coach of the Statesmen Soccer program. Jackman returns to Delta State from Yale University where he served as an assistant coach under Kylie Stannard, after joining the staff in the spring of 2022.


"I would like to thank Coach Mike Kinnison and Dana George for giving me this amazing opportunity. Delta State University has a special place in my heart. It was an honor and privilege to wear the jersey for four years. I am extremely proud to have the privilege for our team to represent those who came before," said Jackman. "We look forward to giving the amazing Cleveland community a team that it can be proud of in the classroom, the community and on the field. I am extremely excited to be back in my second home and, can't wait to get to work."


Before joining the Yale staff, Jackman served as an assistant at Millsaps College since 2019. Prior to Millsaps, he spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Delta State, earning a Master of Science in Sport and Human Performance.

Are you ready for your next college showcase?
I have used the Soccer in College site for 8 years, and it has helped me keep my personal and soccer information up to date, and has helped be track college contacts and interest. I think the site helped me prepare for college offers, and helped me determine that I wanted to play for UNC.
