Charlie Camp joined the East Texas A&M coaching staff for the 2026 season as the linebackers coach and defensive run game coordinator.
A coaching veteran for two decades, Camp most recently served as the linebackers coach at UTSA. Camp came to UTSA from HCU, where he served as the Huskies' defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. He made his mark on the defense in his three seasons with the program, as the unit improved each season in scoring defense, rushing defense and pass efficiency defense.
Camp mentored five all-conference performers at HCU, including linebacker Garrett Dolan, who collected six All-America certificates, was a three-time All-Southland selection and finished his career with the seventh-most career tackles in FCS history under Camp's tutelage.
He has a wealth of collegiate experience, serving as linebackers coach at Akron, North Dakota State, Nevada, San Jose State, Oregon State, San Diego State and Idaho and defensive ends coach at Arizona. Camp also interned as a linebackers coach with the Chargers and Dolphins of the NFL.
A native of New Orleans, La., Camp was a four-year starter at linebacker for Arizona's "Desert Swarm" defense from 1991-95. He led the team in tackles as a senior and received the Bear Down Award for Superior Effort and Achievement in 1992, 1994 and 1995.
Camp received his bachelor's degree in biology from Arizona.
