Colorado College Athletics

Isaac Carter, former assistant coach at Princeton University and New Mexico Highlands University, was named defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach for the Colorado College football team, head coach Bob Bodor announced today. 

“Coach Carter brings a terrific background at the high school, Division II and Ivy League levels to the CC football program,” Bodor said. “He is a quality coach and person who loves coaching and teaching. He will be an excellent leader of the defense. Our players are going to love working with him.” 

Carter spent the last year as head football coach, head track & field coach and director of athletics at Summit Christian School in West Palm Beach, Fla. 

Carter spent the 2006 season at Princeton as assistant defensive backs and assistant special teams coach. The Tigers ranked No. 1 in pass defense and won the Ivy League title. Carter worked primarily with the cornerbacks, including J.J. Artis of the New York Giants, and four of his players earned first-team Ivy League honors. 

While at New Mexico Highlands, Carter coordinated the pass defense and coached the defensive backs, special teams and supervised the Cowboys’ strength and conditioning program. 

Carter earned his master’s degree in sports administration from NMHU in 2006 and a bachelor’s in human performance and sport in 2004. During that time, he was a four-time all-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference selection. 

The Cowboy’s ranked No. 1 nationally in kickoff returns in 2004 and led the RMAC in blocking punts in 2003 and 2004. 

Carter also will serve as an assistant in CC’s athletic media relations department. 

Carter and his wife, Nicole, have an infant daughter, Anaya.
