Vanderbilt Men’s Golf Hires New Assistant Coach: The Anchor
Vanderbilt men’s golf made a new addition to its coaching staff Saturday, hiring Jake Doggett as the new assistant coach.
Doggett spent the last three years in professional golf on the All Pro Tour. Doggett was also a caddie for Cole Sherwood during Vanderbilt men’s golf’s 2025 fall season a semester ago. Doggett was a three-time All-American golfer at Division II Midwestern State during his college years. He is also a two-time Marie Morgan Award winner.
“We are excited to welcome Jake to our Vandy Golf Family,” Vanderbilt men’s golf head coach Scott Limbaugh said of Doggett's addition to his coaching staff. “I always look to add people that bring positive energy and a strong work ethic to our program, and I believe Jake will do that. It is important to me to give guys opportunities that have a desire to coach and learn because that was done for me. Jake is a high-character guy who came highly recommended by some of our former players. He was a great player and a winner, and we believe he will help us elevate our program for years to come.”
Doggett is replacing former assistant coach Brady Edwards, who left to take an assistant coaching job at New Mexico. Vanderbilt men’s golf enters its spring season ranked No. 3 in the opening poll. The spring season begins Feb. 16 at the Watersound Invitational.
