Jeremy Bandy is in his second season as Harvard’s offensive line coach.

Bandy coordinates recruiting efforts for the Crimson in the New England states, as well as Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland and Delaware.

In Bandy’s first season with the Crimson, his linemen helped Harvard rank third nationally in total offense (487.5 yards per game), fourth in scoring offense (39.4 points per game), fourth in passing efficiency (157.25 rating), 17th in rushing offense (214.3 yards per game) and 19th in passing offense (273.2 yards per game).

Bandy came to Harvard after spending six years on Tim Gilmore’s staff at Holy Cross, four of them as the offensive line coach.

In 2011, Bandy’s offensive line had two selections on the All-Patriot League team. Additionally, long snapper Matt Fava was named to the national all-freshman team by College Sports Journal.

In 2009, four out of the five starters on offensive line earned All-Patriot League honors as the Crusaders won the league title and advanced to the national playoffs. In 2008, two of Bandy’s players earned all-league honors. During his first two seasons with the Crusaders, Bandy served as the tight ends coach, helping to guide the career of first team All-Patriot League selection Ryan McGuire.

Bandy came to Holy Cross from Allegheny College, where he served as the offensive line coach for four seasons. Allegheny won the 2003 national championship, and in 2004, Bandy guided an offensive line which paved the way for the Gators to rush for 1,657 yards and 16 touchdowns.

A 2001 graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, Bandy played both center and guard on the offensive line for the Yellow Jackets. During his undergraduate days at Baldwin-Wallace, he also served as a recruiting assistant in the football office.
