Clarke University Athletics issued the following announcement on July 16.

Summertime in college athletics signals transition and in 2021, Clarke University athletics administration will transition with the additions of Brandon Lindholm as the Athletics Compliance Administrator and Brett Tudela as the Sports Information Director.

Tudela replaces longtime Clarke SID Jerry Hanson after Hanson's retirement following the 2020-21 year as Lindholm comes in to a newly created position at CU athletics to work with the compliance and eligibility side as well as assisting in some sports information duties.

Lindholm comes to the Pride after working as a graduate assistant at Southern Illinois University from 2019 to 2021 where he earned a Master of Science in Education with a focus on Recreation and Administration while working in the sports information department for the Salukis.

As a graduate assistant, he assisted with media coverage for all 15 programs at SIU, but held primary responsibilities in cross country, track and field, women's soccer, men's golf, and was also the secondary contact for football during his tenure.

His prior stops included working as the Assistant Sports Information Director at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa for the 2018-19 school year. While there, he served as the primary media contact for baseball, cross country, soccer, track and field, women's tennis, and men's basketball.

Prior to and during his time at Wartburg, Lindholm worked with the Kansas City Chiefs as a preseason intern and a gameday assistant during the 2018 season, a season that included hosting the AFC Championship game and quarterback Patrick Mahomes being named NFL MVP.

Lindholm got his start in college athletics at his alma mater of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where he worked as a student assistant in the sports information department while earning his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Corporate and Health Communications with a minor in Coaching and Sports Management.

Tudela makes his jump to the Pride from fellow NAIA institution Campbellsville University in Campbellsville, Ky., where he worked as the Assistant Sports Information Director for three years from 2018 until the most recent season of 2020-21.

While at Campbellsville, Tudela either assisted or led the sports information efforts for most of the school's 31 athletic programs. He most recently led all, social media, website, photo, and video coverage for the Tigers at the men's and women's golf NAIA National Championships where the Tiger men came in fifth and individual Gracie Parrott won the individual National Championship.

Prior to his work at Campbellsville, Tudela held sports information or media coordination jobs at three different locations from the fall of 2015 to the summer of 2018.

After graduating with his Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Ill., he served as an Athletics Public Relations Assistant at SMU in Dallas, Texas for the 2015-16 season where he worked with women's cross country, track and field, and women's tennis.

Returning back to his alma mater in 2016-17, Tudela worked as a part-time assistant at NIU as the primary contact for the women's soccer team for two seasons, the baseball team for one season, and the men's golf team in the fall of 2017.

His last stop before landing his first full-time gig at Campbellsville was with the Rockford Rivets Baseball team in Rockford, Ill. where he worked as a ticket sales representative and media coordinator handing media relations duties and coordinating the student-intern led video broadcasts of all home games.
