Kevin Day is in his second season as an offensive line coach at Carson-Newman.
Day's offensive line in 2018 was headlined by all-conference selections Phil McDowell and Jordan Seal. The Eagles' roadgraders helped pave the way for the conference's best rushing offense.
The Soddy Daisy, Tenn.-native was a consensus All-American for the Eagles in 2012 en route to being named the university's Male Athlete of the Year and Rimington Award-winner as the top center in Division II that year.
A member of the Allstate AFCA Good Works team, Day was also a finalist for the Upshaw Award as the top lineman in Division II.
A three-time All-SAC selection and winner of the SAC's Jacobs Blocking Trophy as a senior, Day helped clear the way for the nation's top rushing offense in Division II in 2012. The Eagles piled up nearly 380 yards a game while scoring 52 rushing touchdowns. The 52 scores on the ground were the most among all schools in all divisions that year. Only FCS' Georgia Southern averaged more yards rushing a game than C-N.
Day helped pave the way for a 1,000-yard rusher in every season blocking along the offensive line. He concluded his career by starting 46 consecutive games.
Day spent four seasons (2013-16) coaching in the high school ranks. He helped West High School in Knoxville to a pair of state title appearances, winning a title in 2014. The last two years, he was on the staff at Cleveland High School.
Day is married to the former Amber Shelton.
