Bio

Dillon Humphreys is the first flag football coach at Missouri Valley College. Born in Texas and raised in Clinton, Missouri, Humphreys brings a lifetime of football, leadership, and high-performance culture to Missouri Valley College. A 2010 graduate and proud U.S. Army veteran, Humphreys served on Active Duty with distinction, earning multiple Army Commendation and Achievement Medals. His military background shaped the discipline, accountability, and team-first standards that define his coaching philosophy today.

Humphreys has played football his entire life, transitioning from tackle football into recreational and coed flag football in 2011 and committing fully to the sport recreationally in 2014. As a player, he has competed in coed, recreationally, and on active duty across 4v4, 5v5, 7v7, and 8v8 formats, in both contact and non-contact environments, aligning closely with IFAF, IFL-USA Flag, USA Football, and Olympic-style flag football structures. He played offense and defense at a high level, developing a deep understanding of what truly helps build a dominate flag football player.  While on Active Duty, Humphreys competed on Company, Battalion, Brigade, and Division flag football teams, helping lay the foundation for what has now evolved into the All-Army Flag Football program and teams, competing against other military branches and elite club and recreational teams in community or nationwide.

Transitioning into coaching, Humphreys has spent over a decade building programs and developing athletes at every level. He has a Flag Football National and International Coaching pipeline, working with domestic and international coaches, players and systems. He has coached, founded and led programs within KC Chiefs Flag, NFL FLAG, RCX Sports, USA Football, Girls Play Flag Football, YMCA Flag, and national coaching showcase and talent camp environments. He is highly experienced in player pathway development, playbook installation, tempo control, motion systems, match coverage concepts, and modern flag adaptations tied to the Olympic game and all things Flag Football.

Humphreys’ coaching style blends IFAF principles, USA Football methodology, and modern flag innovation, evolving from scheme-heavy instruction to athlete-centered teaching, emphasizing decision-making, football IQ, and adaptability. He coaches through multiple learning styles, using film, walk-throughs, constraints-functional movement-based drills, and competitive periods to maximize retention and execution that help translate to the field. 

Beyond the field, Humphreys is committed to developing leaders, scholars, and professionals. His core values are discipline, accountability, resilience, communication, and service.

“Success in the classroom and in life matters as much as success on the field.”

For Humphreys, the keys to success are simples. For an individual player, it is to master fundamentals, think fast, play ball, and stay coachable. As a team, what matters is to trust the system, communicate relentlessly, and compete together.

Uniting all the players around the team is fundamental.

“WE ARE ONE FAMILY.”

Now at Missouri Valley College, Dillon Humphreys is building the first women’s flag football program in school history, with a clear vision: develop elite student-athletes, compete at the national level, and create a sustainable championship culture.

“Champions are not built overnight. They are built brick by brick, on the field, in the classroom, and in life.”
