MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - Tobin Sharp has been named the new assistant coach for Berry Football under head coach Tony Kunczewski.

Sharp joins the Vikings after serving a year at Dakota State University with the Trojans as a graduate assistant/area recruiter and camp coordinator.

In his time with the Trojans he was responsible for coaching and mentorship of the running backs and wide receivers and he installed weekly game plans for then which resulted in a winning season for the program and a First team all-conference selection.

Prior to Dakota State, Sharp was a position coach for three seasons at NAIA Taylor University. 

Sharp's student-athletes saw plenty of work in 2021, teaming to average over 180.0 rushing yards per game, for Taylor's highest single-season mark in two decades. Under Sharp's watch, TU posted back-to-back games of at least 300 rushing yards, topping a mark Taylor had not reached in a single game in nearly 20 years.

Taylor continued to lean on its ground game throughout the 2022 season, averaging 177.6 rushing yards per game and eclipsing the 200-yard barrier four times.

Sharp came to Upland following an internship for recruiting and scouting with the University of Michigan football program and time as a video and draft scout for Sports Info Solutions.

Prior to those stops, Sharp played as a quarterback and tight end during his collegiate career on the gridiron at North Carolina Wesleyan College.

While with the Battling Bishops, Sharp earned Academic All-USA South Athletic Conference recognition, before graduating in 2020 with a degree in psychology and a minor in sports administration and religion.
