Brandon Jackson
Head Coach
Brandon Jackson joined the coaching staff at Bard in 2015 after having run an attacking clinic for the team the season prior.
He became the Head Coach in 2016, shortly after the passing of former Head Coach Andy McCabe.
Coach Jackson was a striker on the 2007 Middlebury College soccer team that won the NCAA Div. III National Championships. He scored the winning penalty kick that sealed the historic victory in the final against Trinity, Texas.
