Jesse DiLuzio

Jesse DiLuzio is in his second season as an assistant coach on Mike Babst's staff.

DiLuzio, the older brother of former Wildcat standout Jamie DiLuzio ’21, came to Davidson after almost two years as a graduate assistant at the University of Louisville.

“It's funny how things work out- with Jamie Diluzio graduating and moving to Louisville for his fifth year of eligibility, we are able to bring in Jesse from Louisville where he was a Graduate Assistant for the past two seasons. He already has really valuable experience as a young coach and has an energy and ambition to help drive our program to a new level. And the familiarity he has with our program from his brother playing here for four years will really help him to transition into making an impact right away,” Babst said.

Along with assisting in a number of areas with the Louisville program, DiLuzio helped the Cardinals to an appearance in the 2019 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.

During his time in Kentucky, DiLuzio also served as a head coach of the Louisville City Academy.

As a standout player at Centre College, where he graduated from in 2018, DiLuzio guided the Colonels to their first SAA Championship in program history.

DiLuzio, who holds a USSF C License, is set to receive his Masters of Science Degree in Sports Administration from Louisville in May of 2021.
