Austin Peay President Dr. Mike Licari named two-time APSU graduate and former Governors baseball player Jordan Harmon Austin Peay's 15th Director of Athletics on February 9, 2026.
Harmon served as Austin Peay’s interim director of athletics beginning in August 2025 before being appointed the university’s director of athletics. He previously worked as the general manager for APSU Athletics, where he coordinated leadership in revenue sharing and name, image, and likeness management.
Harmon, a St. Louis, Missouri, native, returned to Austin Peay in March 2024 after a year as the director of development at Bishop Verot Catholic High School in Fort Myers, Florida. Upon his return, he was named deputy director of athletics and chief revenue officer – the first in department history.
A 2017 Austin Peay graduate, Harmon was previously a member of Austin Peay's athletics department for three years, becoming deputy director of athletics for competitive excellence and championship resources just before his departure. He originally joined the department in January 2020 as assistant director of athletics for development after serving as the director of development for athletics fundraising within the University Advancement office.
During his first tenure in the athletics department, Harmon played a key role in driving record-setting fundraising success. In July 2020, Austin Peay announced $2.74 million in athletics fundraising – the second-highest total in program history. Combined with the record $3.6 million raised in 2018-19, the department generated more than $6.35 million over two years, marking the most successful fundraising period in its history.
As a student-athlete, Harmon was a pitcher on the Austin Peay baseball team from 2014-17 and graduated from APSU with a bachelor's degree in finance. He also earned a master's degree in management from Austin Peay in 2020. Harmon's wife, Reagan (née Greene), was a member of the Austin Peay women's golf team for two seasons. They have one daughter, Parker, who they welcomed in December 2024.
