Axel Easter, a 2019 graduate of Brevard College, enters his second season on staff with the Tornados in the 2020-21 season. Easter serves as the Defensive Line Coach for the Tornado football team while also handling Alumni Relations. 

Over the course of the 2019 season, Easter worked with a defense that set several program records and earned conference and national accolades en route to an 8-2 season and a victory in the 2019 ECAC Scotty Whitelaw Bowl. Brevard's defense led the USA South and set a new program-record by allowing just 13.3 points-per-game. The Tornados set program records and led the conference in turnovers (25) and interceptions (21) - while BC's 19 interceptions in the regular season ranked tied-for-third in all of NCAA DIII football. Moreover, Brevard allowed the third-fewest rushing yards-per-game in the regular season and scored four touchdowns on defense, which was tied for the lead in the USA South. During the regular season, BC's defense did not surrender a touchdown to the opposition in four of its nine games. Under Easter's tutulege, the Tornados had one defensive lineman named to the USA South All-Conference team when Louis Williams III earned a Second-Team nod following the 2019 season. 

Easter graduated from Brevard College in the Spring of 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Business and Organizational Management.
