During his tenure with the Bulldogs’ coaching staff, Marchant assisted The Citadel in breaking a handful of program records.

Most recently in 2018, Marchant coached a Citadel team that improved its win total by four from the 2017 campaign, won two Southern Conference games for the first time since 2014 and won a game in the opening round of the Southern Conference Women’s Soccer Championship for the first time in four years.

Prior to coaching at The Citadel, Marchant spent one year as the goalkeepers coach for both the men’s and women’s squads at Anderson University, where he helped lead the women’s team to a program-record 14 wins in 2015 and a No. 8 ranking in the final NSCAA Southeast Region poll.

Marchant was also involved in the Clemson Anderson Soccer Alliance, where he oversaw the development of the club’s goalkeepers and developed players as the goalkeepers coach.

In 2013, Marchant earned his first coaching position at his alma mater, the University of Rio Grande. There he served as the goalkeepers coach for the men’s soccer team, leading the Red Storm to the second round of the NAIA National Tournament. He also coached eight players to Mid-South All-Conference teams and coached his goalkeeper to two NAIA All-American Awards.

Marchant played five seasons with the Red Storm and participated in five national championships, reaching the semifinals twice and the finals once. He collected two all-conference accolades following his senior season and was named an NAIA Men’s Soccer All-American in 2012. Marchant earned Bachelors of Science, business management in 2012 and finished his Masters of Business Administration in 2014.
