Korbin Farmer is an Area Representative for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) in the Greater St. Louis region. In this role, he supports coaches and athletes at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels, including at McKendree University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, by leading team Bible studies and gameday chapels.
In his sixth season with the program, during the 2025-26 campaign, Farmer assisted in one of the Bearcats' most notable seasons. The team made two appearances in the NABC Coaches poll at No.23 both times, while receiving votes just outside the top-25 in several other weeks. The Bearcats finished with a 22-8 overall record, with a 14-6 GLVC mark, to record the most wins in the NCAA-era for both total and conference. Other accolades include Andrew Moore receiving the program's first-ever GLVC Freshman of the Year honor, and finished third in all of Division II in field goal percentage defense (38.3%).
Farmer began his coaching career at McKendree University in 2020 as a graduate assistant under former Head Coach Chris Foster, and continued under current Head Coach George Suggs during the 2021–22 season. He then transitioned to a volunteer assistant role in 2022.
A former standout collegiate player, Farmer played four seasons at Millikin University, appearing in 93 games with 44 starts. He tallied 465 points, 340 rebounds, 64 blocks, and earned multiple academic and leadership honors, including being honored as a four-time CCIW (College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin) Jack Swartz Award recipient, and served as a two-time President of the Millikin Council.
Farmer graduated summa cum laude from Millikin University in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and philosophy and completed his MBA at McKendree University in 2022, graduating as the program’s top student.
A Columbia, Illinois native, Farmer helped lead his high school to its first-ever IHSA (Illinois High School Association) 3A regional title and scored over 1,000 career points.
