Prosper football coach and campus athletic coordinator Brandon Schmidt will be recommended as the next head coach at A&M Consolidated, College Station ISD announced Thursday.
Schmidt departs Prosper ISD after eight years in the district and seven as Prosper’s head coach.
While at the helm, Schmidt compiled a 67-24 record, and Prosper did not miss the playoffs once. It reached the state semifinals in 2022 and the quarterfinals the three years prior.
Prosper finished second in District 5-6A with a 13-2 overall record. It boasted a top-10 scoring defense in the Dallas area, sacrificing just 16.8 points per game.
A&M Consolidated went 9-3 in 2022, losing in the area round of the playoffs after placing second in District 11-5A Div. I. Schmidt will replace Lee Fedora, who resigned in early December after six seasons at his alma mater.
Brandon Schmidt will be the next football coach @AMCHSWeb. He led the 6A Prosper program to playoff appearances all seven seasons there (state semifinals in 2022, state quarterfinals in 2021, 2020, and 2019).

“I grew up a coach’s kid and played through college, but more importantly, I always tell people coaching is not a job, it is a calling,” Schmidt said in a statement released by College Station ISD. “This is a statement I do not take lightly and I am passionate about kids, coaches, and the community. My goal is always to build a program everyone can be proud of, but most importantly to build great humans. I can’t wait to get started building relationships with the community and raising the high standards already in place at Consol.”
College Station ISD Superintendent Mike Martindale and Athletic Director Kevin Starnes will recommend Schmidt for the head football coach and campus athletic coordinator roles at a specially-called board meeting on Tuesday.
