Drew Maddox

The 2026 season will be the first for Head Coach Drew Maddox leading Arizona Christian University Football.

Prior to ACU, Coach Maddox spent four seasons (2020-23) leading the football team at Louisiana Christian University.

Before his arrival the LCU program had been without a winning season for five years.  HIs four year tenure resulted in a record of 22-16.  After a COVID-shortened 2-3 season, his team improved each year - from 4-7 in his first full season, to 7-4 and then 9-2 with a Sooner Athletic Conference championship and an NAIA playoff appearance.

Coach Maddox was the Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in both 2022 and 2023.

After spending 2024 in the NCAA Division I ranks as defensive line coach at Southeast Missouri State University, he decided to return to smaller college football.  He spent one year (the 2025 season) trying to create a football team at a start-up Christian college before making the move to the Valley of the Sun.

Coach Maddox is a U.S Army veteran, serving as a Sergeant Team Leader from 2006-2011, including two tours in Iraq as a cavalry scout.  Drew and his wife, Caitlyn, have two children- daughter Alli and son Gabriel.
