Jack Murphy was promoted on July, 2024 as the Santa Clara University assistant men's soccer coach and director of operations.
The promotion comes after serving the 2023 season as a graduate assistant with the program where he helped with video analysis and breaking down film from trainings and games.
Â
Murphy played three seasons for the Broncos from 2020 – 22 after transferring from Fordham University. In 2021, he helped lead Santa Clara to an outright West Coast Conference championship and to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.Â
Â
The San Jose, California native received his bachelor's degree in business management with a minor in entrepreneurship in 2022 before embarking on his coaching career.
Murphy's collegiate playing career encompassed a two year stint at Fordham where he appeared in 17 games and was named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll in 2018. He was also a two-time WCC All-Academic honoree during his time on the Mission Campus.Â
Â
He tallied his first point as a Bronco against Dixie State during the 2021 championship season run, with the game-winning goal and an assist. And against San Francisco that season, he assisted in the game-winning goal by Oladayo Thomas.Â
Â
The coaching bloodline runs in the family as Murphy's father, Gregg, is the current Santa Clara women's associate head coach. Â
