EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon athletic department announced the hiring of Anthony Kincy on Tuesday as the new associate head strength and conditioning coach for the UO football program.
Kincy joins the Ducks after spending the 2024 season as the director of football sports performance at UCF, bringing with him more than a decade of experience at the FBS level.
“We are thrilled to welcome Anthony and his son, Amaud, to our Oregon family,” head coach Dan Lanning said. “Coach Kincy knows how to get the very best out of his student-athletes and set them up for success both on and off the field. He brings great experience and enthusiasm to our program, and his diverse background as a former player and coach will be a great asset for us here at Oregon. We’re excited to hit the ground running with him this spring.”
A 2012 graduate of Arkansas State, Kincy got his career started as a strength and conditioning graduate assistant at Auburn in the fall of 2013. He worked in that role until December 2014 while earning his Master’s of Education, and then was elevated to assistant director of athletic sports performance for Auburn football.
Kincy worked at Auburn until December 2020, when he joined the Tennessee football program as assistant director of football sports performance. He spent three seasons with the Volunteers prior to joining UCF in January 2024.
“I am extremely thankful to Coach Lanning and Coach Love for extending an opportunity to add value and be a part of one of the elite programs in the country,” Kincy said. “To continue to shape the vision that Coach Lanning has started here at Oregon and compete for national championships is a privilege. Working alongside high-level thinking coaches on the strength staff is also an honor. My family and I are extremely grateful to join the Duck nation!”
As the director of football sports performance at UCF, Kincy was responsible for designing and implementing the preseason, in-season and offseason strength and conditioning programming for the Golden Knights. He helped prepare UCF running back RJ Harvey for an all-American season in which he broke the program record for career touchdowns (48) and finished second all-time in career rushing touchdowns (43).
At Tennessee, Kincy had oversight of the Volunteers’ offseason and summer speed programs. He also worked closely with the sports performance and nutrition staffs to ensure student-athletes maintained body composition through healthy nutritional habits. Tennessee reached a bowl game in all three of Kincy’s seasons, including winning the 2022 Orange Bowl and the 2023 Citrus Bowl.
While at Auburn, Kincy helped the Tigers win the 2013 SEC Championship and reach the BCS National Championship Game. Auburn would reach a bowl game in every season with Kincy on staff, including the 2016 Allstate Sugar Bowl and the 2017 Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl.
After being elevated to a full-time role at Auburn, Kincy was directly responsible preparing and implementing strength and conditioning plans ahead of the NFL Combine and Pro Day. He also designed offseason speed and agility programs for Auburn’s offensive and defensive linemen.
As a fullback and tight end at Arkansas State, Kincy played in back-to-back GoDaddy.com Bowls after winning consecutive Sunbelt Conference titles in 2011 and 2012.
