I look forward to this new challenge, and I'm confident that we can recruit a strong and competitive team to compete at a high level within this conference. Coming back to Huntingdon to grow this program on a beautiful campus and a high-caliber academic institution is something I could not pass on."

Athletic Director Eric Levanda on Sewell joining the Huntingdon staff:

"It's always great to have a Hawk come back to lead one of our programs.  Brandon joins a large chunk of our alumni based athletic staff, in that same endearing regard.Brandon is a familiar face, having watched him play, coach, and grow here.  I was proud to see the job he did at LaGrange, in building that program.
I think he can have a tremendously positive impact on our program all the way around, from coaching, recruiting, and preparing our women for their next phase in life."
