University of Arkansas at Monticello Athletics

John Harvey joined the University of Arkansas at Monticello athletics department in September of 2010 as the head baseball coach.
 
In his first season at UAM (2011), Harvey took over a struggling program that had lost 143 games and won just 35 in the four previous seasons. In the 13 seasons since, Harvey's Weevils are 341-257, including over the last 10 seasons with four NCAA regional trips and four consecutive Great American Conference Championships.
 
Under Harvey's leadership, the Weevils have produced three All-America honorees, 13 All-Region selections and 61 All-GAC selections.
 
Harvey is the 11th head baseball coach in school history and he recorded his 500th overall victory on February 20, 20124 in a 15-0 triumph over Harding University. Throughout his 20 years as a head coach, Harvey heads into the 2024 season with an overall record of 495-405.
 
Prior to his move to Monticello, Harvey spent six years as head coach of GAC in-state rival Henderson State University from 2005-2010.
 
Throughout his six years in Arkadelphia, Harvey led the Reddies to a 154-148 record. He ranks third all-time at HSU in wins. He led the Reddies to three 30-win seasons, a then school-record 34 wins in 2009 and recorded a combined total of 20 all-conference honorees.
 
The Lufkin, Texas native began his coaching career as an assistant at Itawamba Community College for the 2002 season. He then served as an assistant coach at Henderson State in 2003 and 2004 before being promoted to head coach.
 
During his playing days, Harvey lettered four years at Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas, where he graduated in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. In 2004, he earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Henderson State University.
 
Harvey and his wife Jaime have two sons, Brooks and Brock.
