James Kent joined the St. Lawrence University football coaching staff prior to the 2017 season.
Kent, who will be working with the Saints' offensive line, spent the last two years as an offensive line coach and the recruiting coordinator at Hiram College. In 2016, he helped the Terriers' offense set school records for total yards and passing yards in a season, and his offensive line helped Danny Robinson become the first First-Team All-NCAC running back in program history with 683 rushing yards on 128 attempts, an average of 5.3 yards per carry.
A 2014 graduate of Mount Union, Kent helped the Raiders win the NCAA Division III Championship with a perfect 15-0 record in 2012. He played 11 games on the offensive line that season, then earned 14 starts in a 14-1 season as a senior, helping Mount Union advance to the NCAA championship game once again. After graduation, he spent two years at his alma mater as the junior varsity offensive line coach, leading the JV squad to a 15-0 record. He was also an assistant offensive line coach for the varsity team, helping the Raiders go 29-1 over two years with a national championship in 2015 and a runner-up finish in 2014.
