Jeb Boudreaux enters his third season with the Black Bears in 2026 where he will coach the defensive ends after having coached the outside linebackers for his first two seasons.
In 2025, the Black Bears linebacking corps recorded nine sacks while leading the defense to the lowest yards per game allowed (325.1) in the CAA. The group also recorded eight pass breakups, forced four fumbles, recovered three fumbles and had five QB hurries. Christian Thomas earned a spot on the All-CAA first team and the All-New England team before signing with the Las Vegas Raiders on an UDFA deal.
Prior to his stint at Maine, Boudreaux coached the defensive line at John Carroll University. In his year at John Carroll (2023), the program finished the year 8-2 overall as the defense racked up 18 sacks and held the opposition to 110.3 rush yards per game.
Before joining the staff at John Carroll, Boudreaux spent time as an assistant director of recruiting / defensive assistant at Air Force Academy after one year as the defensive line coach at Ithaca College. While at Ithaca, Boudreaux mentored a great defense which finished ranked eighth in the nation at the Division-III level in rushing yards allowed (65.8) and 16th in scoring defense (12.4). Under his guidance, the entire defensive line was named All-Liberty League.
Boudreaux also bolstered his resume as a scouting assistant at the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Boudreaux, a 2017 graduate of Stetson University with a degree in sports business, was a two-time all-conference linebacker for the Hatters and led the Pioneer League in tackles for two consecutive seasons. He racked up 257 tackles during his four-years, starting 21 games for Stetson and serving as team captain in 2017.
