WARRENSBURG, Mo. – University of Central Missouri Mules football head coach Josh Lamberson announced three new additions to his coaching staff on Friday, Feb. 7.

Vince Mayle (wide receivers), Dylan Graham (running backs) and Prince Washington (corners) have all joined the Mules coaching staff.

"I am so excited about Vince, Dylan and Prince joining the Mules football family," Lamberson said. "These three individuals embody our core values of being selfless, tough, disciplined and grit. They each have an incredible story that has equipped them with experiences both on and off the field to help our young men with the tools they need to be successful in life and in football. They are passionate about relationships and the coaching profession."

Mayle joins the Mules after serving as the wide receivers coach at Missouri Southern in Joplin, Mo., for the 2024 season.

Before his time in Joplin, Mayle was the wide receivers coach for Sierra College, where he produced an All-State selection in the NorCal Conference.

Mayle was drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and went on to play in the NFL for the Cowboys (2015-17), Baltimore Ravens (2017-19) and Los Angeles Chargers (2019-20) before retiring and getting into coaching.

Mayle played college football at Washington State University Pullman, Wash., as a wide receiver where he played two seasons and cracked in the top 10 in yards and catches in program history. He is the only receiver ever in PAC-12 history to post over 250 receiving yards twice in a game in one year and led the PAC-12 in receptions (106) and yards (1,483) in 2014, both also Washington State single season records. Mayle also holds the WSU single-game records in receptions (15) and receiving yards (263). He capped off his senior year at Washington State as an All-American, All-PAC-12 and a semi-finalist for the Bilitnekoff Award which is given to the nation's best wide receiver.

Mayle graduated from Washington State with a bachelor's degree in social sciences in 2015.

"Vince is a rising star in this profession. His knowledge and passion for the game are on display in every interaction," Lamberson said. "His experience will be a valuable tool for our wide receiver room, and his excitement to serve our players is already being felt. He is a phenomenal addition to the program, both on and off the field. He has the 'it' factor and can make an impact in every area of our players' lives."

Graham comes to Warrensburg after serving as an offensive student assistant at the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) in 2023-24 in Odessa, Texas.

Graham was a quarterback for UTPB for two seasons, playing in 15 games for the Falcons. In his 15 career games, he was 289-549 for 3,229 passing yards with 29 touchdowns. He helped UTPB win the 2023 Lone Star Conference Championship. Graham, who was a two-time team captain and was named to the Leadership Council by his teammates and coaches in 2024, ranked fifth in the nation in passing touchdowns and sixth in passing yards in 2024.

He graduated from UTPB with a bachelor's degree in business management in 2023 and received his Master of Business Administration degree from UTPB in 2024.

"Dylan is fresh into coaching as he makes the transition from being a player into the coaching profession," Lamberson said. "He is eager to learn and very willing to do whatever needs to be done. He is outstanding at building relationships and enhancing culture. I am so excited to watch Dylan grow, learn and impact our football players and program."

Washington joins the Mules after serving as a defensive assistant at Sacramento State University in Sacramento, Calif., in 2024.

He was a defensive analyst for Sacramento State and Sanger West High School from June 2023 to January 2024 before being promoted to defensive assistant for the Hornets.

Washington was a starting cornerback at Sacramento State from August 2019 to December 2022 and led the conference in pass breakups two years in a row before being sidelined with an injury. He was a team captain and helped Sacramento State to three straight Big Sky Conference Titles.

Washington graduated with a bachelor's degree in business finance from Sacramento State in 2022.   

"Prince is an established coach and brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience into the corner room," Lamberson said. "Coach Washington is one of the most relatable coaches I have been around and has an elite attitude about this profession. He wants to serve and find ways to help our players both on and off the field. He will take our corner room to new heights and develop our young men in all areas."
