Bryan Laut Named Goucher Interim Director of Athletics
TOWSON, Md. – Bryan Laut, currently the Assistant Athletic Director and head men's soccer coach at Goucher College, has been named Goucher's interim Director of Athletics, effective immediately.
Laut, who has been at Goucher since 2010, will serve in that role while the College conducts a search for a permanent athletic director. He will also continue to coach the Gopher men's soccer program in the upcoming 2024 season.
"I appreciate the opportunity and belief that President (Kent) Devereaux and Dr. (Aarika) Camp have shown in the Athletics Leadership team and I to take on the responsibility of leading our department during this transition," said Laut. "Goucher is a special place for me, and having been involved as a coach, athletic administrator, and member of the community for the past fourteen years I can see the true long-lasting impact we provide for our students and specifically our student-athletes."
"I am excited to continue to work with our amazing staff of coaches, administrators, and school leadership to create a first-class experience for our student-athletes to challenge themselves and excel academically, athletically and personally as we push the department to new heights."
In Laut's current role as Assistant Athletic Director, he oversees athletic facilities and also serves as a liaison with Admissions.
Laut enters his 15th season at the helm of the Goucher men's soccer program in 2024. A two-time Landmark Conference Coach of the Year, Laut has guided the Gophers to 84 victories during his tenure and three Landmark tournament appearances (2014, 2022, 2023). Goucher has also made back-to-back ECAC appearances the past two seasons.
Laut has spent over a quarter century in intercollegiate athletics. Prior to Goucher, he served as an assistant men's soccer coach at Division I Lafayette College. Before that, he spent three seasons as the head men's soccer coach at his alma mater, Assumption University, where he was also a four-year member of the program as an undergraduate.
A 2000 graduate of Assumption with a degree in management and history, Laut went on to earn his Master's from California (Pa.) in intercollegiate athletic administration. He and his wife Megan are the parents of four children: Julia, Bennett, Hudson and Peyton.
