Hunt comes to NDSU after three seasons as a volunteer assistant at the University of Minnesota, and he also brings head coaching experience from two seasons at Division II Upper Iowa University in 2017-18. Hunt served as an assistant coach for Augustana University in Sioux Falls for four seasons, earning a promotion to lead assistant and recruiting coordinator after two years.
"I am extremely excited to add Brandon to our coaching staff," Oakes said. "His knowledge of the game and attention to detail will play an instrumental role in the development of our players. Brandon has a ton of coaching experience, strong recruiting ties throughout the Midwest, and he will make a huge impact on our program."
A native of Rapid City, S.D., Hunt played catcher collegiately at Augustana from 2002-05 after graduating from Rapid City Stevens High School.
Neale joined the NDSU staff as a volunteer assistant coach in August 2020. Prior to coming to NDSU, he spent the 2020 season as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and three years at Upper Iowa from 2017-19 as a graduate assistant and full-time assistant.
"I am thrilled to keep Tanner on our coaching staff and elevate him from the volunteer coaching position he was in last year," Oakes said. "Tanner has a great baseball mind and has brought new and exciting ideas to our program. He is a tireless worker, has developed positive relationships with our current players, and played a huge role in helping our program win a Summit League championship last season."
Neale is a native of Watertown, S.D., and was a three-year starter at catcher for Division II Southwest Minnesota State.
The Bison set a school record with 42 wins in 2021, going 42-19 on their way to a Summit League Tournament title and the first NCAA Regional game victory of the school's Division I era.
