SAN ANTONIO — Head coach Larry Coker announced Monday that he has hired Charlie Reeve as an assistant coach. He will tutor the program's tight ends and his appointment is effective immediately.
"Charlie is an outstanding addition to our coaching staff," Coker said. "He has a great offensive mind and well-rounded coaching experience with a strong background, plus he has a lot of connections in the state of Texas that will greatly benefit our recruiting efforts. We're looking forward to having him on board."
"I'm very excited and grateful for this opportunity," Reeve said. "It's an exciting time for this program and I look forward to working with Coach Coker and the rest of the staff."
Reeve comes to the Alamo City from Odessa where he served as the passing game coordinator and assistant coach for wide receivers under head coach Gary Gaines at Permian High School. He helped the Panthers to a 6-5 record and to the bi-district round of the Class 5A playoffs in 2011 and two of his receivers were named all-district.
The Victoria native spent the previous five years at Texas State with the football staff serving in several different capacities.
He was an assistant coach from 2007-10, overseeing the running backs for all four years. Reeve helped the offense finish seventh in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in scoring (38.3 ppg) and eighth in total offense (460.2 ypg) in 2008 and 12th in total offense (422.2 ypg) the following season. He helped tutor Bobcats running backs to All-Southland Conference honors five times.
Reeve was named Texas State's interim head coach from December 2010-January 2011 before moving into the director of operations position until July 2011.
He spent one season as the offensive graduate assistant coach at Rice in 2006. He helped lead the Owls to a 7-6 record, a runner-up finish in Conference USA with a 6-2 mark and to the New Orleans Bowl, the program's first postseason appearance in 45 years.
Reeve was the quarterbacks coach at Bay City High School in 2004, where he helped the Black Cats to a 9-2 record, co-district championship and the area round of the Class 4A playoffs. His quarterback garnered all-district accolades.
He also was the defensive ends and receivers coach at Cuero High School in 2005, where he helped guide the Gobblers to a 13-1 record, the district title and the state semifinal round of the Class 3A playoffs. One of his defensive ends was tabbed all-state and the district's Defensive Player of the Year, while two others were picked all-district.
Reeve was a record-setting quarterback at Pearl River (Miss.) Community College from 2000-01. He led the nation in passing and total offense en route to earning first-team NJCAA All-America and Region XIII Player of the Year honors as a sophomore. He also was the conference Player of the Year, the league's offensive Most Valuable Player and the runner-up for the NJCAA Player of the Year that season. He broke seven school passing records during his Wildcats career.
Reeve signed to play at Texas State in 2002 but sustained a career-ending injury. He was asked to stay on as a student assistant coach and he worked with the defensive backs in 2003 after mentoring quarterbacks and wide receivers the prior season.
Reeve earned a bachelor's degree in exercise sports science with a minor in history from Texas State in 2004.
He and his wife, Courtney, have two sons, Ryder and Bear.
