Drew Hutchins enters his second season on The Farm after joining the Stanford men's soccer staff as Associate Head Coach in January 2025.
In his first season with Stanford, Hutchins helped guide the Cardinal to a third consecutive berth to the third round of the NCAA Tournament, finishing with a 14-4-2 record with five weeks spent as the No. 1 ranked program in the country. Working primarily with the goalkeepers, netminder Rowan Schnebly recorded career bests in saves (42) and save percentage (.712) with seven clean sheets under Hutchins.
Hutchins joined the staff after spending one season as an assistant coach for NC State. During his time in Raleigh, Hutchins helped lead the Wolfpack to a 10-5-5 season and an NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance. Under his guidance, NC State had three All-ACC honorees in 2024.
Before arriving at NC State, Hutchins spent eight years as the associate head coach at Cornell under former Stanford assistant John Smith, where he helped the program to a 62-44-12 record. His leadership contributed to four consecutive 10-win seasons (2018-22) for the first time in Cornell’s history, during which the Big Red posted a 46-18-5 overall record and 16-8-4 mark in Ivy League play. Over his eight seasons on staff, Hutchins helped coach 21 student-athletes to 32 All-Ivy League selections.
Hutchins makes his return to The Farm after playing at Stanford from 2010-2013, where he made 43 starts in 46 appearances between the posts for Stanford and earned an All-Pac 12 selection in 2013. Hutchins started every game in his final two seasons with a 1.17 goals against advantage, leading Stanford to an NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance his senior year. Hutchins was also a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic team member and a Capital One Academic All-District 8 team selection during his Cardinal career.
"Drew was a cornerstone of our program in my early years here at Stanford and we are extremely excited for him to rejoin our program after a 10-year hiatus," said Gunn "He set the standard in every way, and it has been no surprise that he has carved out an exceptional career as a college coach."Â
A native of Morrisville, PA, Hutchins graduated from Stanford in 2014 with a degree in Technology and Society.
