Brookhaven, MS – The Brookhaven School District is proud to announce the appointment of Coach Darien Dorsey as the new Head Football Coach of Brookhaven High School. Coach Dorsey brings with him a wealth of experience, a championship pedigree, and a passion for building strong student-athletes both on and off the field.
With 13 years of experience as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator, Coach Dorsey has long been recognized as a tactical leader and a mentor to student-athletes. His record of success extends beyond the gridiron—he is a three-time state champion as Head Track Coach, demonstrating his ability to lead programs to the highest levels of success.
A former collegiate athlete himself, Coach Dorsey played at Belhaven University, where he displayed the same discipline, energy, and commitment that he now instills in his athletes.
"Coach Dorsey is a dynamic leader," said Dr. Roderick Henderson, Superintendent of the Brookhaven School District. "He is an energetic, hardworking, and community-oriented educator who understands that building a successful football program starts with building strong relationships, a solid work ethic, and a culture of accountability."
Coach Dorsey is deeply rooted in the community and known for his ability to connect with students, parents, and supporters. He is a true program builder who believes in developing student-athletes to be champions in the classroom, in competition, and in life.
As we look ahead to the next chapter of Brookhaven Panther Football, we are excited about the direction and vision Coach Dorsey brings to our team. The future is bright, and we are confident that under his leadership, our football program will thrive and inspire excellence for years to come.
