The 2024 football season marks Brady Foltz’s third season on the Butler football staff and first coaching the offensive line.

Foltz makes his return to El Dorado after coaching stops at Morehead State, UTPB and Northeastern State in between his first stint with Butler (2016-17).

The 2023 season saw Foltz serve as offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Morehead State (NCAA FCS). Foltz coached two honorable mention All-Pioneer League honorees on the offensive line. The offensive line helped pave the way for Morehead State’s 232 passing yards per game which ranked second in the 11-team Pioneer League.

Prior to his time at MSU, Foltz spent three years at the University of Texas Permian Basin (NCAA D2). Foltz was a coaching assistant for two seasons before being promoted to offensive line coach in his third season. In his second year on staff the line led the way for an offense that averaged 127.4 yards per game on the ground. In his first season, the Falcon offensive line allowed just 12 sacks on the season while averaging 80 yards per game on the ground in the spring of 2021. Despite injuries up front, the offensive line led the way as the Falcons threw for 14 touchdowns in just five games.

Foltz spent two years at Northeastern State University (2018-19) where he was the offensive line and tight ends graduate assistant coach for two different staffs.

His coaching career began at Butler where he led the tight ends and halfbacks for two seasons (2016 and 2017), guiding three all-conference players while helping the team win 15 games over two seasons.

As a student-athlete, Foltz was a four-year letterman and offensive lineman at TCU. He started at offensive guard his junior and senior seasons and was a two-time All-Big 12 selection. As a senior in 2015, Foltz and the Horned Frogs advanced as high as No. 7 nationally and finished with an 11-2 record. They won a triple overtime thriller over Oregon in the Valero Alamo Bowl, 47-41, rallying from a 31-0 halftime deficit, which tied for the largest comeback in FBS bowl history.

Foltz started all 13 contests at left guard for the Horned Frogs in 2014, as TCU finished 12-1 overall and finished with a No. 3 ranking by the AP and Coaches polls, winning the Peach Bowl and the Big 12 title. Foltz paved the way for a prolific TCU offense that finished second in the nation in scoring (46.5 points per game) and tied for fifth in total offense (533.0 yards per game). The team set single-season school records for points, passing yards, total yards, first downs, and plays. Foltz's TCU teams also won the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in 2012 and the Poinsettia Bowl in 2011.

A Rose Hill, Kan., native, Foltz was one of the top high school recruits in Kansas in 2010 out of Rose Hill High School. He was ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 41 guard nationally and No. 2 in the state of Kansas. He was a 4A first-team all-state and all-league selection on the offensive and defensive lines as a junior and senior. Foltz did not allow a sack his final two seasons. A Wichita All-Metro selection and a member of the Wichita Eagle Top 22, Foltz was also named the Rockets’ team captain and most valuable player. He was a four-year letterman in football while also lettering three years in basketball and track and field.

Foltz is the younger brother of former TCU offensive guard Blaize Foltz. His father, Roger, played football at Wake Forest, while his mother, Heidi, was a basketball player at Fort Hays State.

Foltz earned his bachelor's degree from TCU in 2016.
