Xavier Dupree

Dupree was hired as the 33rd head coach in Hiram football history on December 13, 2024, having re-joined the Terriers after serving two seasons as the wide receivers coach at Catawba College (NCAA Division II | Salisbury, NC). Dupree brings seven years of coaching experience between the Division I, II and III levels and will be leading Hiram College in its return to Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) competition in 2025.

Prior to Catawba, Dupree served as the wide receivers coach at Hiram from 2020 to the spring of 2023, elevating a position group that featured one of the best pass-catchers in the history of the program in Raequan Davis-Hereford. As a team, Hiram averaged over 13 yards per reception under Dupree in 2021 and followed it up with over 2,100 receiving yards in 2022 – those marks ranked sixth and fifth respectively in the North Coast Athletic Conference.

Dupree was also instrumental in the improvement of Hiram College’s strength and conditioning program for a multitude of varsity sports. Following his winter lifting program in 2022, Hiram student-athletes had over 3,000lbs of improvement between bench press, squats and power cleans.

In 2019, Dupree played a key role as the football strength and conditioning intern at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. He assisted with all areas of athletic performance at the Division I level, which included nutrition, sports science and strength and conditioning. He organized and led weekly workouts for the program’s developmental players and helped facilitate the day-to-day operations of the school’s performance facility.

Dupree was also a Division I student-athlete at Middle Tennessee State (Murfreesboro, TN) as a wide receiver. Following his playing career, he served as a student coach with the program alongside wide receivers coach Austin Silvoy.

In the spring of 2019, Dupree earned his degree in Multimedia Journalism from Middle Tennessee State along with a minor in Athletic Coaching.
