Morgan State head football coach Damon Wilson announced that Antone' Sewell has been added to the coaching staff as the Bears assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.
Sewell served as defensive coordinator at Division II perennial power Bowie State.
Bowie State allowed an average of just under 14 points per game in 2021 as it claimed its third-straight CIAA title, its best showing under Sewell and one of the best in the nation.
Sewell spent five seasons in the SWAC on Henry Frazier’s Prairie View A&M squads in the mid-2000s.
Sewell helped coach the team to four NCAA statistical champions and four CIAA defensive Rookie of the Year winners, while coached the 2019 CIAA Defensive Player of the Year and the 2019 HBCU Gameday Defensive Player of the Year. He also helped coach the 2021 AFCA Division II Defensive Player of the Year, while helping Bowie State to host its first ever playoff game and playoff win.
Upon completion of his degree from Bowie State as a member of the Honors Program in 2003, Sewell began his coaching career at Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, Ga. While at FVSU, Sewell served one season as a graduate assistant on the FVSU coaching staff assisting with the team’s defensive backs.
A four-year letterman at Bowie State University, Sewell was named the team’s Defensive MVP in 2001 after helping the Bulldogs to a 7-3 record. After a productive senior season in 2002 in which BSU advanced to the CIAA Championship Game, he was named to the All-CIAA Second Team.
A native of New Carrollton, Md., Sewell also holds a Master’s in Counseling from Prairie View A&M. He served as a participant in the 2009 NCAA Football Coaches Academy in Indianapolis, Ind., the 2011 NCAA Expert Coaches Academy in Orlando, Fla. and the 2016 NCAA-NFL Coaches Academy in Tampa, Fla.
