HOUSTON – The startup Houston Baptist University football program has hired Brent Vieselmeyer as co-defensive coordinator, head coach Vic Shealy announced Wednesday. The addition completes the Huskies' staff of full-time assistant coaches.
 
“Brent brings us a tremendous amount of energy and is a very bright and creative coach defensively,” Shealy said. “He has a strong background, builds great relationships with players and has coached several players who have gone on and played well at the highest level of college ball.”
 
Vieselmeyer has been the head coach at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo., since March 2007, when he started the program from scratch. He compiled a 55-12 record, leading the Eagles to four-straight state championships in 2009 (3A), 2010 (4A), 2011 (4A) and 2012 (5A). He was named Denver Post Colorado Coach of the Year in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and was All Sport Jefferson County Coach of the Year in 2010.
 
“He is a coach who understands the balance between producing a product, having won four state titles in Colorado, and valuing the relationship-side of building the lives up of young men in pursuit of winning those championships,” Shealy said.
 
Vieselmeyer brings 13 years of coaching experience to the Huskies' staff, beginning his career at Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, Calif., where he spent eight years as defensive coordinator. The Lancers won the 2006 California state and CIF Southern Section state titles. They also won the 2004 CIF Southern Section championship and were finalist in 2000, 2001 and 2003. During his career, he has seen 31 of his student-athletes earn college football scholarships.
 
He played linebacker at University of Redlands in Redlands, Calif., and Concordia University in Mequon, Wis., earning a bachelor of arts in education from Concordia and a master of arts in educational administration from University of Phoenix.
