Wisconsin Badgers

Andrew Marlatt is in his fourth year with the Wisconsin football program in 2018, his second season with the title of Senior Director of Operations and Recruiting. Marlatt joined the Badgers after a successful run as a coach in both the high school and college ranks.

Marlatt came to Madison after most recently serving as safeties coach and special teams coordinator at Miami (Ohio). His kickoff coverage unit at Miami led the nation in 2013 by allowing just 14.24 yards per kickoff return, and the RedHawks’ punt coverage unit also ranked No. 29 in the FBS, with opponents averaging just 4.9 yards per runback. 

Prior to joining the staff at his alma mater, Marlatt spent seven seasons as head coach at Loveland High School in Loveland, Ohio, where he mentored former Badgers TE Brian Wozniak among several players that went on to play at the FBS level. His head coaching job at Loveland followed nine years as defensive coordinator at Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, three years as defensive coordinator at Kings High School in Kings Mills, Ohio, and three seasons as an assistant at Fairfield High School in Fairfield, Ohio.

In addition to his high school coaching duties, Marlatt was director of football operations for the Anthony Munoz Football Academy from 2001-05.

As defensive lineman at Miami (Ohio), Marlatt racked up 55 tackles for loss and 17 sacks on his way to earning All-Mid-American Conference honors three times. He was named first-team All-MAC in 1986 while helping the RedHawks secure the league title and score an upset win over LSU. Marlatt also earned all-conference honors as part of the Miami teams that finished runner-up in the MAC in both 1985 and 1987.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys in 1988, Marlatt went on to a professional career in the Arena Football League with the Washington Commandos, Columbus Thunderbolts and Cleveland Thunderbolts. 

Marlatt is a 1988 graduate of Miami University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in education, and went on to earn a master’s degree in teacher leadership from Nova Southeastern University. He and his wife, Karen, have three daughters, Lauren, Sarah and Grace.
