Marc Hohorst
	Position: Head Equipment Manager alma mater: UL-Lafayette, 1997

Marc Hohorst joined the athletic department in the summer of 2001 and 2013 marks his 13th season as the Tigers' equipment manager.

Hohorst is responsible for purchasing, issuing, and maintaining all athletic equipment, as well as supervising several student managers and interns. He also oversees the day-to-day operations of the equipment room at the Murphy Athletic Complex, which services football, baseball, soccer, track, softball and golf.

In November 2008, the University of Memphis entered into a lucrative five-year contract with Nike, and Hohorst has taken on additional responsibilities of handling the increased inventory.

During the fall of 2002, the Athletic Department suffered a major loss when a fire on Halloween morning destroyed the turf room and most of the Tigers' football equipment. Hohorst received high marks and praise for gathering game day equipment from other universities in the area and preparing the football team for its next contest.

A native of Lafayette, La., Hohorst joined the U of M staff from Arkansas State, where he was the supervisor of equipment for three years.

Prior to his duties at ASU, Hohorst worked for one year at his collegiate alma mater, the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, in a game management capacity. He worked various ULL events, serving as the visiting team host and organizing ticket sales and records.

Hohorst graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now called ULL) in 1997 with a degree in physical education. He received his Louisiana teaching certification that same year and served as a substitute teacher in 1997 and 1998 at Youngsville Middle School.

While at ULL, Hohorst also assisted in the equipment room as a student and worked both the NCAA softball regional tournament and Sun Belt Conference baseball tournament as a tournament official. He spent one year with the Lafayette Swamp Cats as the head equipment manager.

Hohorst and his wife Brenda, who were married in June 2010, reside in Bartlett.
