Nealy enters his second season with the Miners and was promoted to recruiting coordinator and senior player personnel director. Last season, Nealy served as the director of player development – high school relations.
 
Nealy, after playing quarterback in college, received his first coaching opportunity at San Marcos Academy, where he’s worked since 2011, directing the wide receivers. Nealy also returned to Texas State where he completed his degree in 2017.
 
While in San Marcos, Nealy mentored San Marcos High School quarterback and current University of Texas shortstop David Hamilton.

Prior to coaching, Nealy played quarterback in four games at the University of Houston in 2002 for current UTEP head coach Dana Dimel before transferring to Texas State for the next three seasons. Nealy threw for 7,206 yards and 52 touchdowns in 35 starts (2003-05) with the Bobcats. Under then-offensive coordinator and current Texas head coach Tom Herman, Nealy also earned the 2005 Southland Conference Player of the Year in 2005 after tossing 21 scores with only nine interceptions in 363 attempts and leading his squad to a SLC Championship.  
 
Following his successful 2005 campaign, Nealy signed a free-agent contract with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings was a wide receiver in 2006. Later that year, Nealy inked a contract with the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders, where he played quarterback for five seasons (2006-10).
