It's was a tumultuous off-season for Bob Jones University's baseball program. It will be Kyle Morrison's assignment to bring some tranquility to it.

In early September the school announced it was dropping the sport, citing low revenue projections. Less than three weeks later, the school announced the sport was being reinstated. Neither announcement addressed the status of Brent Casteel, who was named head coach in 2018 to establish the program and field a team beginning in 2021. Casteel coached the Bruins to a 35-110 record and appearances in the National Christian College Athletic Association postseason during four seasons.

When looking for 2025 schedules today, I found Morrison listed as the head coach, but could find no release from the school. An Internet search did not reveal any news of Casteel's departure.

Morrison served as an assistant under Casteel all four seasons.

A native of Jamestown, N.C., in the Piedmont Triad, Morrison played four seasons at NCAA Division III Brevard College, compiling a .298 career batting average.

Jim Rulapaugh is listed as Morrison's assistant coach. He also served four years on Casteel's staff.

There is no schedule listed on the school's Website. Most teams begin their season in late January or early February.
