Ben Luther was named the ECCC offensive line coach in March of 2022.  

Luther, a Picayune native, and Picayune Memorial High School graduate brings years of experience to the Warrior offensive line with coaching experience at multiple levels of collegiate football. 

Luther played at Pearl River Community College before graduating in 2010 and continuing his education at Ole Miss where he majored in exercise science. During his time in Oxford, Luther began his coaching career as a volunteer at Oxford High School and intern at the Olympic Weight Room where he assisted with multiple Ole Miss sports.

Upon graduation, Luther interned in the University of Alabama weight room for one season in 2012 under the direction of Nick Saban where he worked exclusively with the offensive line with strength and conditioning.

Luther followed that with a coaching stint at East Mississippi Community College as a defensive assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach before returning to Pearl River for two years where he assisted both the offensive and defensive lines. 

After his stop at his alma mater, Luther coached at the University of Tennessee at Martin from 2014 to 2016 where he served as an assistant offensive line and tight ends coach while earning a master's degree in family and consumer science. 

He had one season at South Alabama in the fall of 2016 as a graduate assistant offensive line coach, before being named the offensive line coach at Tusculum University in Greenville, Tenn., in 2017. Luther spent three seasons with the Pioneers and coached two All-South Atlantic Conference players, one All-Region player, and helped break the school rushing record. 

Luther's most recent coaching stop was at Concord University as the offensive line coach. Despite playing just one game in 2020 due to COVID-19, and 10 games in 2021, Luther helped the Mountain Lions break 21 school records, two conference records, and one national record. 

Luther lives in Decatur and has one daughter, Lillian Belle Luther.
