Chris Monfiletto joined the Wake Forest staff as a special teams analyst ahead of the 2024 season following a year at Colorado State as an Offensive Assistant and the interim offensive line coach in the spring of 2023.
Prior to Fort Collins, Monfiletto spent four seasons with Rice University, most recently as the Special Teams Coordinator. He first joined the Owls in 2019 as an offensive quality control assistant and was the tight ends coach during the 2020 season.
Monfiletto went to South Main after seven years as the head coach at Kenyon College where he also coached the quarterbacks. He took over a Kenyon program in 2012 that was coming off consecutive winless seasons. In his first season, the team recorded six wins and managed the first winning season since 2005. The next season saw Kenyon win more games in two years since 1988-89. In 2017, Monfiletto’s offense averaged 366.4 yards per game, ranking 21st in NCAA DIII in passing and yards per game. The team boasted the leading top three wide receivers in the NCAC conference in receptions and two in the DIII top 10.
In addition to his head coaching responsibilities, Monfiletto also served as the position coach to QB Thomas Merkle who is Kenyon's career leader in completions and passing yards. In 2018, wide receiver Ian Robertson finished 4th in NCAA DIII in receiving yards and second in receptions per game, setting the school record for completions. In 2016, WR Brian Hunca finished 2nd in NCAA DIII in receptions per game, 4th in receiving yards, and completed his career ranked second at Kenyon in receiving yards. He went on to have a rookie mini camp tryout with the Washington Commanders.
Monfiletto came to Kenyon from Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where he directed an offense that averaged approximately 360 yards and 28 points per game. In Monfiletto's two years at Lycoming, the team had a combined 14-6 record. In addition to his football coaching duties, Monfiletto also served as Lycoming's Director of Athletics from July-December 2011.
Monfiletto also served as the head coach at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio from 2008-2010, and before that spent three years as a running backs coach and recruiting coordinator at Davidson College. The Wildcats had two winning seasons during that time and Monfiletto tutored two of the top-ten rushers in the college's history.
In 2004-05, he served as the special teams coordinator and wide receivers/defensive backs coach at his high school alma mater, the Hun School of Princeton, leading the team to the New Jersey prep A state title.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, and raised in Solebury, Pennsylvania, Monfiletto attended high school at the Hun School and went on to play collegiate football at Davidson College, where he graduated in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in history. In the summer of 2011, he earned a master's degree in Athletic Administration from Ohio University's College of Business.
He is married to Emily Monfiletto and has a son named Vinny and a daughter named Sofia.
