BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana men's soccer head coach Todd Yeagley announced on Wednesday (Jan. 14) the addition of Jacob Bushue – a member of the 2012 national championship team – to his staff as an assistant coach.
"Having lived the Indiana soccer experience as a player, Jacob understands the expectations and pride that come with serving this program," Yeagley said. "Jacob is one of the most competitive players I have had the pleasure to coach, and that played a role in helping us capture our eighth NCAA title in 2012.
"Jacob's love and passion for the game have helped him become an excellent young coach. His coaching journey has been shaped by his professional experiences in Europe and the United States. I am confident Jacob will have a significant impact on the development of our players and help sustain our program's proud Tradition of Excellence."
Bushue returns to Bloomington after two seasons on John Michael Hayden's staff at Louisville. During his time at Louisville, Bushue worked with the coaching staff to recruit athletes, scout opposing teams, plan training sessions and execute the activation phase of training.
Prior to Louisville, Bushue enjoyed a nine-year professional career. Out of college, Bushue spent two seasons with Saint Louis FC in the USL Championship from 2015-16. Bushue then played in Finland from 2017-22 between four clubs – BK-46, Ekenäs IF, FC Haka and Jaro. He returned stateside and to the USL Championship in 2023 for one season with the Las Vegas Lights.
Bushue played for Yeagley from 2010-13 and helped the program capture its eighth national championship in 2012. Over four seasons, Bushue recorded six goals, 10 assists and 22 points and was part of Big Ten title wins in 2010 (league) and 2013 (tournament).
All four members of the Indiana men's soccer coaching staff played at Indiana, as Bushue joins Yeagley (1991-94) and assistant coaches Christian Lomeli (2015-16) and Tanner Thompson (2013-16).
