Brandon Levine was appointed as the seventh head men's soccer coach at Felician University in August 2021. During his initial season, Levine guided the Golden Falcons to their first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference playoff appearance in 10 years. Felician finished seventh in the 2021 CACC regular-season standings and fell to No. 2 seed Wilmington University during the league quarterfinals.
In July 2022, he was promoted to a full-time position in the athletics department. Levine also holds the title of Athletics Assistant at Felician, assisting the department with day-to-day financial matters, including oversight of ticketing and concessions.
Brandon Levine was the 2007 Times Herald-Record Player of the Year for Goshen (N.Y.) High School. He began his collegiate playing days at Dowling College, appearing in 15 contests for the 2008 Golden Lions squad that advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championship game. He then transferred to SUNY Plattsburgh, where he was a three-year starter at outside midfield and outside back. The Cardinals won the 2010 SUNYAC championship plus two regular-season conference crowns and made two NCAA Division III Tournament appearances during his career.
Levine earned a B.S. in independent studies from Plattsburgh State in 2013.
Levine was named the interim head coach at Purchase College late in the 2017 season and guided the Panthers during that year's Skyline Conference playoffs. He served as Purchase's head coach the next two seasons and compiled a won-lost-tied record of 13-19-4. His teams produced five All-Skyline honorees. Levine also has previous collegiate coaching experience as an assistant at Dutchess County Community College.
From 2014 to 2022, Levine was a senior health fitness specialist at the Corporate Fitness Works Facility at Mastercard Worldwide in Purchase, N.Y. He also served as the high school program manager for Cedar Stars Academy in Carlstadt for six years. Levine possesses a U.S. Soccer Federation 'B' coaching license and a United Soccer Coaches Advanced National Diploma. He is also certified as a personal trainer by the American College of Sports Medicine.
Currently, he is the Zone 3 Director at Tobar Futbol Academy and the USL 2 Head Coach for the Hudson Valley Hammers—a USL club owned by USA National Team captain Tyler Adams—after serving as an assistant coach in 2022. Levine guided the Hammers to the USL 2 National Playoffs in 2023, including a win over Northeast Champions, Seacoast United, in the first round.
In the 2024 fall season, Coach Levine led Felician University to one of the most successful campaigns in program history. The Golden Falcons earned a spot in the national top-25 rankings early in the season and went on to capture the CACC Championship with a thrilling victory over Post University. Making history, Levine's squad defeated the No. 3 seeded Bloomsburg University in the NCAA Tournament—marking the program’s first-ever win over a nationally seeded opponent.
In the Sweet Sixteen, Felician once again faced Post University, this time in a dramatic rematch. After a hard-fought battle that ended in a draw through regulation and overtime, the Golden Falcons emerged victorious with a 5-4 edge in penalty kicks. The team's historic run concluded in the Elite Eight against the No. 1 ranked University of Charleston, where Felician narrowly fell in extra time, 2-1.
Following their remarkable postseason performance, the Golden Falcons enter the 2025 season ranked No. 8 in the nation—solidifying Coach Levine’s program as a national contender.
He and his wife, Kathryn, reside in Florida, N.Y.
