LeTourneau University has named Andy Cavins as its new head volleyball
coach. Cavins comes to LETU from the University of Georgia where he served as an assistant
coach from 2007 to 2009. He was also the director of the Club Volleyball program at UGA

"It is such an honor to be the new head coach at LeTourneau University,”
Cavins said. “The university has a great vision for the volleyball program, and I share its passion
and enthusiasm. I plan to build a volleyball powerhouse in the American Southwest Conference
through committed and talented student-athletes from Texas and throughout the nation."
Prior to UGA, Cavins assisted at Baylor University and also was the head

“It never ceases to amaze me how God brings just the right people at the
right time,” said Executive Vice President for Business and Administration Bill McDowell, who

Andy’s experience and enthusiasm just confirms that the future is bright!”
