Army Football Welcomes Munir Prince

New Role at West Point

West Point, N.Y. — Army Football has brought Munir Prince on board as the new cornerbacks coach, a coach recognized for elevating defensive performance and mentoring standout defensive backs.
Prince comes to West Point after four years coaching at Eastern Michigan, where he built a disciplined, reliable defensive backfield in the MAC.

At Eastern Michigan, Prince mentored Bryce Llewellyn to All-MAC Second Team honors in 2025 and guided a consistently disciplined secondary. Llewellyn led the defense with 103 tackles, two interceptions, and 5.0 tackles for loss.

“My family and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the rich tradition of Army Football,” said Prince. “We’d like to thank Coach Monken and Coach Dixon for this opportunity.”

Prince’s cornerbacks units consistently produced across multiple seasons. In 2024, his group featured strong depth and productivity, highlighted by Daiquan White’s 10 starts and 6 pass breakups, Dramarian McNulty’s Academic All-District recognition, and David Carter Jr.’s 42-tackle season, which included a 99-yard forced-fumble return for a touchdown. During the 2023 campaign, Prince’s unit helped Eastern Michigan rank first in the MAC in interceptions and second in opponent completion percentage en route to a 9–4 season. That year, White earned conference and national freshman honors, Bennett Walker led the team with three interceptions, and Kempton Shine finished his career second in program history with 26 passes defended.

Prior to his time at Eastern Michigan, Prince served as head football coach at Webster Groves (Mo.) High School, where he also served as the assistant athletic director. He is known for blending on-field coaching with leadership development, leveraging administrative experience to mentor athletes, and balancing demanding responsibilities. He had been an assistant coach at the school since 2020 and served as interim head coach for a portion of the 2021 season.

“Munir brings tremendous energy, attention to detail, and a proven ability to develop defensive backs at a high level,” said Monken. “We’re excited to add someone with his experience and passion for teaching to our defensive staff.”

Coaching Journey and Experience

Prince has coached at several colleges, including Missouri State, Drake, Pittsburg State, and the University of Missouri. At Missouri State, he spent five years coaching both running backs and, from 2018 onward, cornerbacks. While there, his players led the defense, and his offenses totaled more than 4,000 yards over three seasons. In 2017, his team ranked third in the conference in rushing offense in conference games.

He started out coaching tight ends at Drake after working in sports marketing for a year with Drake IMG Sports Marketing.

Playing Career and Academic Achievements

Prince played football at Missouri, where he also earned his bachelor’s in business management and an MBA. During his master’s program, he served as an offensive graduate assistant under Head Coach Gary Pinkel.

As a player, Prince was part of two Big 12 North Division title teams and three bowl games, including the Alamo Bowl and Texas Bowl. He began his college playing career at Notre Dame, appearing in 20 games at running back and defensive back in 2006 and 2007.

A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Prince and his wife, Alison, have two children: a son, Munir, and a daughter, Elowyn.
