The College of New Jersey Athletics

Entering 2nd season as head coach in 2026

Tyler Moody became the 14th head coach in TCNJ football history in March of 2025.

Moody led the Lions to a 6-4 record in his first season at the helm, giving the Lions back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since 2004. TCNJ got off to a 6-1 start, its best since 2007, and Moody and his staff coached 10 TCNJ players to All-NJAC honors.

Moody came to TCNJ after a 14-year stint at Stonehill College, where he spent nine years as offensive coordinator and the last four as associate head coach. After overseeing the offensive line for eight years, Moody completed his sixth as quarterbacks coach before departing for Ewing.

Moody brings a proven track record of strong offensive line play, continually building his units into some of the best in the Northeast-10 and developing a bevy of all-conference performers. In his first season as run game coordinator in 2013, the Skyhawks won a share of their first Northeast-10 regular season championship and ranked in the top-25 nationally in red-zone offense.

Moody was promoted to associate head coach in 2020, and the Skyhawks went 8-2 in 2021 before officially joining the Division I ranks in 2022. Stonehill adapted quickly to the ascension to Division I, going 9-10 overall and 6-8 in conference play in its first two seasons.

Moody coached 32 all-conference players during his time at Stonehill, and his offenses broke nearly every single-game and single-season school record on the books. The Skyhawks averaged over 30 points per game in three consecutive seasons, even extending into their transition to Division I, and since then Moody has helped the program post the No. 1 rushing offense and No. 2 scoring offense in two of the first three campaigns at the D1 level.

Moody is also a strong recruiter with extensive experience in identifying talent in the state of New Jersey. In each of the last nine seasons at Stonehill, at least 17 players have either hailed from the Garden State or played high school football there.

Prior to his time at Stonehill, Moody spent one season at the University of Massachusetts, where he served as assistant offensive line coach for the No. 2-ranked total offense in the CAA. He managed recruiting territories for parts of New Jersey and the junior colleges of Northern California.

Moody spent two seasons as a defensive assistant at Amherst College, where he developed a pair of All-Conference selections. He assisted in all areas for the defensive coordinator and helped manage a national recruiting effort.

Moody is a 2008 graduate of Centre College, where he was a four-year starter and senior captain for the Colonels. He was a three-time All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) honoree and earned All-South Region honors and participated in the Division III Football Aztec Bowl in 2007.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Moody takes over a program that went 6-4 in 2024, posting its first winning season in 13 years. TCNJ expects to have seven returning All-NJAC players on the roster this fall, and Moody inherits an offense that ranked fourth in Division III in passing (328.5 yards per game) and 23^rd in total offense (447.7 YPG) as well as a defense that was ninth in fumble recoveries (13) and 13^th in takeaways (26).
