Bio

Judah Boulet is entering his ninth year as the head coach of the Bryant University Bulldogs and his tenth year overall with the program for the 2024-2025 season. Boulet is well-acquainted with Bryant Rugby, having first served as the men's head coach in 2003 and 2004. His rugby involvement, however, goes back to 1999, when he began playing for Emory University. His playing career extended to stints with the Atlanta Renegades and Providence Rugby Club, but was cut short due to injuries. Despite these setbacks, Boulet's passion for the sport remained strong, leading him to become a referee. He worked his way up to the USA National Referee Development Panel, serving until 2009.
 
In 2008, Boulet shifted his focus to coaching, founding the men’s rugby program at Xaverian Brothers High School, where he served as head coach for ten seasons, until 2017. Under his leadership, the program flourished, establishing his reputation as a skilled and dedicated coach.
 
Boulet holds an MBA from the University of Wyoming and a Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Rhode Island. He resides in Lincoln, Rhode Island, with his two sons, Nolan and Ian, who are both passionate about the Bulldogs team.
