Football
LAWRENCE, Kan. Kansas Football announced Monday that Brandon Shelby has been named the Jayhawks' defensive backs coach. Shelby joined KU as an analyst in 2024 after 13 seasons at Indiana.
“We are excited to announce Brandon Shelby as our defensive backs coach,” said head coach Lance Leipold said. “Brandon has a proven track record of developing and recruiting at a high level. He is an experienced coach at the power-four level and has done an excellent job with our program and the development of our secondary this fall. I am confident that he will do a tremendous job in leading our defensive backs.”
Shelby has more than 18 years of coaching experience, following 13 years at Indiana. While with the Hoosiers, Shelby served as Indiana's assistant head coach/cornerbacks coach from 2021 to 2023 and was a part of four bowl games during his time at Bloomington. Shelby was the fourth-longest assistant coach in IU history, the longest-tenured cornerbacks coach in the Big Ten East and the second-longest tenured assistant in the conference overall. During his time in Bloomington, Shelby had four cornerbacks lead the league in pass breakups and three in the conference in passes defended.
“I am incredibly grateful to Coach Leipold for the opportunity to remain a part of KU Football and contribute to such an exceptional program,” Shelby said. “As a member of the defensive staff, I am excited to lead the high school and mentor the student-athletes who proudly represent the crimson and blue colors. I am eager to help build something truly remarkable here at KU. Let's get started Rock Chalk!”
In 2020, Shelby coached Tiwan Mullen to become the first IU cornerback in program history to earn first-team All-American honors. The Hoosiers led the conference and finished second nationally with 17 interceptions, eight of which came from cornerbacks.
Shelby was Indiana's cornerbacks coach from 2011-2014 and 2016-2020 and coached the secondary for one season in 2015. Prior to his time at Indiana, Shelby spent the 2010 season as cornerbacks coach at the University of Louisiana-Monroe.
In 2009, Shelby coached the high school at Portland State University and led the defensive backs at the University of San Diego in 2008.
Shelby began his coaching career at his alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, as a defensive assistant in 2006. The Sooners won the Big 12 Championship and played in the Fiesta Bowl that season. Shelby spent the 2007 campaign as an assistant at the University of Arizona before moving to San Diego.
Shelby participated in the first Future Coaches Academy in San Antonio in January 2007, a workshop held in partnership with the NCAA, American Football Coaches Association, the Black Coaches Association and the National Football League. He also completed a Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship with the Houston Texans in June 2017.
Shelby was a standout defensive back at Oklahoma, where he appeared in two BCS National Championship games and three consecutive BCS bowl games. As a four-year letterman (2001-2004), he earned both All-Big 12 honors and Academic All-Big 12 honors. In 2002, he tied a then-Oklahoma record with four sacks for a defensive back.
Shelby graduated from Oklahoma in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in business management and in 2005 with a master's degree in human relations. Brandon and his wife, Jennifer, have a son, Kaysen, and a daughter, Londyn.
