Matt Blevins
Assistant Coach

Matt Blevins is in his first season on the Norfolk State baseball coaching staff as an assistant coach working with hitters, infielders and outfielders.

Prior to arriving at NSU, Coach Blevins worked with hitters, baserunners and catchers for two seasons at Coppin State University, where the team set program records for wins both years. The CSU offense led the MEAC in hitting in 2019 and produced the batting champion both seasons, produced its first All-American, and received votes in the NCBWA Top 30 poll for the first time in school history. Twelve Eagles players earned All-MEAC honors, and one earned MEAC Rookie of the Year.

The CSU baseball team also had plenty of success in the classroom, as 30 Eagles earned a spot on the MEAC Commissioner’s All-Academic Team by maintaining a 3.0 (or better) GPA. The Eagles also earned the ABCA’s Academic Excellence Award in 2018 and 2019.

Prior to CSU, Blevins worked as an assistant coach at Bluefield State College for five seasons, where he recruited the first player to sign an MLB contract in the program’s history. During his tenure, 17 players earned all-conference honors, and the team earned a cumulative GPA above 3.0 each year.

Blevins spent the summers of 2009 to 2012 as the head coach of the West Virginia Wild in the Carolina-Virginia Summer Collegiate League. During that time, his teams led the league in hitting twice and had three players drafted. Blevins also coached the 2011 CVSCL Player of the Year and had 15 players named to the league’s all-star team.

Blevins earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Bluefield State, where he played third base and pitcher, after playing for WVU Tech as a freshman. Blevins went on to earn a master’s degree in communication studies from West Virginia University in 2009, and a Juris Doctor from Charlotte School of Law in 2017.
