Daniel Venzant was hired in June of 2025 as an assistant coach in Trey Lindsey's first season with the Wolf Pack. 


During his first year with the Pack, Venzant helped guide the program to a 22-8 overall record, which was a 10-win improvement over the previous season. The team also made the NAIA National Championship field for the 11th time in program history. 


Venzant joined the Wolf Pack after a successful stint at UT Rio Grande Valley, where he helped guide the Vaqueros to a 16-15 overall record during the 2023-24 campaign. Improving its win total by 10 games from the previous year, that mark represented the fourth-largest turnaround in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.
 

Prior to his time at UTRGV, Venzant served on the coaching staff at Liberty University. Before embarking on his coaching journey, Venzant played professionally in Mexico, Poland, and Macedonia, following a standout collegiate career that began at Cal State Fullerton. As a freshman, he helped the Titans win the Big West Tournament Championship, appearing in 24 games. After redshirting the 2018-19 season, he played in 26 games the following year, making seven starts.
 

Venzant then transferred to St. Edward’s University, where he played under head coach Andre Cook and Lindsey, who was an assistant. He made an immediate impact, earning Lone Star Conference Second Team honors in both 2020-21 and 2021-22. In his first year at St. Edwards, he averaged 18.0 points and 5.7 assists per game, also earning a spot on the LSC All-Tournament Team. In his final season, he started all 29 games and posted averages of 16.8 points, 4.9 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game.
 

He graduated from St. Edward’s in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts Administration in Sociology.
