NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On Friday, Thomas F. Roush, M.D., and Family Vanderbilt Men’s Golf Head Coach Scott Limbaugh announced the addition of Jake Doggett as assistant coach.
Doggett joins the Commodores after a three-year stint as a professional golfer, competing on the All Pro Tour. Recently, he was a caddie for Vanderbilt alum Cole Sherwood during the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour season.
“We are excited to welcome Jake to our Vandy Golf Family,” said Limbaugh on 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.”
The Hutto, Texas, native was a three-time All-American at NCAA Division II Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, Texas. Doggett played for the Mustangs from 2017-2022 and set five career school records and nine single-season program records. He was a finalist for the GCAA/Barbasol Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year in 2022 and was a two-time Marie Morgan Award recipient. The newest Vanderbilt men’s golf assistant represented Team USA at the 2022 Arnold Palmer Cup.
“I’m very grateful to be joining the Vanderbilt family,” said Doggett. “This is an incredible opportunity for me, and I can’t wait to work with Coach Limbaugh and learn from him and the rest of the team. I’m a very competitive person who loves to win, so I’m ready to bring a lot of energy and passion every day. This program has had phenomenal success in the past, and I’m fired up to have the chance to help the team keep building and continue that winning tradition.”
He is a graduate of Midwestern State, earning his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in May of 2022. He was a member of the President’s Honor Roll and the Provost’s Honor Roll during his time at MSU.
Doggett replaces Brady Edwards, who recently took an assistant coach job at New Mexico. He will join the Commodores in their first tournament of the 2026 spring season on Monday, as No. 3/3-ranked Vanderbilt is set to compete in the Watersound Invitational in Panama City, Florida.
