Southeast Missouri State University Athletics

Andre Crenshaw is in his first year as running backs coach at Southeast Missouri.

Crenshaw comes to Cape Girardeau after working two years as the running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Missouri Western.

He helped the Griffons employ a multi-back rushing attack that ranked third in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and 25thin the nation, averaging 219.5 yards per game in 2018. That efficiency on the ground helped Missouri Western lead the nation in red zone offense (92.9) and top the MIAA in third down conversions (40.8). 

Prior to Missouri Western, Crenshaw was at Ohio Valley Conference member Tennessee Tech for the 2017 season. He coached the Golden Eagle running backs, returners and specialists.

Crenshaw also worked in the same capacity at Morehead State for two years, was a graduate assistant at Dakota Wesleyan and was the running backs and athletes coach at Riggs Football Academy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

A native of Lancaster, California, Crenshaw rushed for more than 500 yards and accumulated more than 1,000 career all-purpose yards during a successful four-year career at Oregon (2006-09). He ran for a career-best 133 yards and two touchdowns at Washington as a sophomore in 2007. Crenshaw totaled more than 1,200 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground as a senior at Antelope Valley High School.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Oregon in 2010 and Master’s degree in educational policy and administration from Dakota Wesleyan in 2015.    

Crenshaw and his wife, Ashley, have a son, Kalin.
