Casey DeAndrade is in his third season on the Holy Cross coaching staff in 2020, serving as the cornerbacks coach.

DeAndrade has helped guide Holy Cross to back-to-back Patriot League championships and NCAA football championship subdivision berths. During the Spring 2021 season, delayed from the fall of 2020 due to COVID-19, Holy Cross defeated Bucknell in the first-ever Patriot League championship game; in 2019, DeAndrade helped the Crusaders to their first Patriot League championship in 10 years, and just the third NCAA FCS berth in program history. 

DeAndrade joined the Crusaders after spending the 2018 season as the running backs coach at the University of New Hampshire. Under his guidance, tailback Carlos Washington ranked sixth in the Colonial Athletic Association in rushing touchdowns and ninth in rushing yards. DeAndrade was previously a coaching intern for the Wildcats in 2017, working with the strength and conditioning program and in quality control.

A 2017 graduate of New Hampshire with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, DeAndrade was a four-year letterwinner for the Wildcats. He earned first team All-America honors as a senior and finished his career with 285 tackles, nine interceptions and 53 pass breakups as a cornerback.
