As of April 2025
Dylan Barnett is in his first year with the Blue Raiders as an offensive quality control assistant for Derek Mason’s staff.
He came to MTSU from Rice where he worked primarily with the offense and last year specifically with the offensive line. Barnett was on the Rice staff from 2022-2024 and was part of the 2023 team that played in the ServPro First Responder Bowl.
Barnett spent three years working with the defensive backs at The University of the South before joining the Rice staff.
He coached for three years at his alma mater Centre College, where he coached wide receivers and was the assistant recruiting coordinator. During his time with the Colonels, he was responsible for breaking down opponents' game film and personnel scouting. Additionally, he coached punt returners and assisted the department's academic progress.
In 2018, the Colonels went 10-2 overall and reached the NCAA Division III Championships and three of his receivers were named to the All-SAA Team. Jaylon Hibbs set program records with 13 receiving touchdowns and 1,238 yards, leading the league with 20.3 yards-per-catch. He also set the single-game mark with 211 receiving yards against Millsaps and earned an invitation to the prestigious Hula Bowl All-Star Game.
Prior to his time with Centre, he was at St. Xavier High School in Louisville, Ky as a cornerbacks coach.
After his playing days were sidelined due to injury, he joined the coaching staff in 2016 as a student assistant, working primarily with defensive backs.
Barnett graduated from Centre College in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.
