(LEBANON, Ill., June 13)—McKendree University director of athletics Chuck Brueggemann announced on Friday that Josh Frisbee will serve as the Bearcats' new athletics operations manager. Frisbee comes to McKendree after spending the last three years in a variety of roles at NCAA Division I Clemson University.
 
"In just a short amount of time, Josh has gained a great deal of experience working with a variety of sports," said Brueggemann. "At Clemson, not only did he work directly with his assigned sports, but he served a supervisory role for Clemson's student work staff. During his undergraduate days Josh was able to work directly with a Division I football program on a daily basis, and that combination of experience will be invaluable to our department. We look forward to bringing Josh into the McKendree athletics family."
 
At Clemson, Frisbee directly handled duties working with the Tigers' volleyball, rowing, diving, tennis and women's soccer programs. He also assisted with the baseball team in addition to overseeing a student staff of approximately 20 workers. Among Frisbee's duties were the set-up and tear down of venues for home sporting events, maintaining proper storage of team equipment and merchandise, and collaborating with the coaching staffs regarding all gear and equipment needs for the teams.
 
"I'm excited and thankful to Chuck Brueggemann for this opportunity to become a part of the McKendree Bearcat family," said Frisbee. "I look forward to working with all of the coaches and being a part of first-class athletic program. I cannot wait to get started."
 
During his undergraduate days at another NCAA Division I institution – Middle Tennessee State University – Frisbee was a student manager for the Blue Raiders' football program. He assisted with the day-to-day operations within the MTSU program and also served as a defensive field assistant for the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach.
 
Frisbee earned his bachelor's degree from Middle Tennessee State in 2015 and completed work for his master's degree from Clemson in 2018.
