Brandon Hoke, Recruiting Coach

Defiance College

[email protected]

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and was a three-year varsity basketbalI player at Brookhaven High School. My next stop was Defiance College where I majored in Sport Management. On the hardwood, I won a conference championship and got the opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament. A few years later, I was able to win another conference championship and earn another NCAA tournament bid, but this time as a graduate assistant coach. While being the graduate assistant men’s basketball coach, I was also a graduate assistant academic advisor, and my focus was on at-risk freshman. I feel blessed and appreciative to be able to change lives in many different ways.

Basketball has taken me so many places in my life. I interned and coached on the postgraduate level for two years at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida. That is where I got my first experience in coaching and training international players. Next, I would become the Director of Player Development and Head Coach at Combine Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

The most rewarding part of working for NCSA is getting the opportunity to make a positive impact in the world and help young people follow their dreams.
