Tyree Foreman enters his first season as tight ends coach at Penn in 2025.

Foreman comes to Penn from Temple, where he has spent the last two seasons coaching the running backs.
 
Prior to his return to Temple, Foreman spent four seasons with Towson. In 2021, Jerry Howard Jr. earned an All-CAA Third Team selection at running back, finishing third in the CAA with 84.7 rushing yards per game and earning four 100+ yard rushing performances. In addition, freshman running back Devin Matthews led the team in scoring with 48 points off eight touchdowns. In 2019, Towson's Yeedee Thaenrat, stepping into a starting role after injuries to a pair of backs, earned all-conference honors. He tied for sixth in Towson history with 14 rushing touchdowns in a season, averaging 5.9 yards per carry for 746 yards. Two running backs, Thaenrat and Adrian Feliz-Platt, averaged over 4.7 yards per carry, while five different Towson running backs had rushing touchdowns. Foreman spent 2018 working with the tight ends unit. 

Before Towson, Foreman spent two years at Tennessee Tech, working with the running backs and the tight ends. He was the offensive coordinator and associate head coach in 2017 and was acting head coach at the end of the year. Wide receiver Dontez Byrd was selected as a 2017 First Team All-OVC wide receiver with 1,003 yards receiving, the season record for the program.

In his first time at Temple, he coached many high-profile running backs from 2007-14 and guided the special teams' units from 2013-14.
 
Foreman started his coaching career at Army West Point in 2004 and helped make an immediate impact on the Black Knights' rushing attack under head coach Bobby Ross.

Foreman played his collegiate ball at Virginia, becoming a three-year letterwinner in the backfield at Virginia from 1999 to 2001, Foreman rushed for 636 yards and 11 touchdowns during his career in Charlottesville, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. He started at both the fullback and tailback positions, closing his tenure with 34 receptions for 387 yards (11.4 avg.) and five receiving scores.  

After departing Virginia, the Sandy Spring, Md., native, signed a rookie free-agent contract with the San Diego Chargers in 2002. He was released at the end of training camp but was signed to the Chicago practice squad in August 2002. He remained with the Bears throughout the season. Foreman was allocated to NFL Europe during the spring of 2003 and spent the season as the starting fullback for the Barcelona Dragons. 

Foreman earned a bachelor's degree in religious studies, with concentrations in Christianity and Buddhism, from Virginia in May 2001.

Foreman is married to his wife, Shakeya. The couple has a daughter, Cassidy.
