Following his successful tenure at Montana State, Sprinkle took the helm at Utah State in April 2023, further solidifying his reputation as a top-tier coach. His recent appointment at the University of Washington in March 2024 marks a new chapter in his career, where he aims to build on his impressive track record and lead the Huskies to new heights.
