Stanton previously worked at Rose-Hulman during the 2018 and 2019 seasons as defensive line coach and film coordinator.  His defensive line combined for three first-team and three second-team all-HCAC awards during the two seasons.  Stanton also coached a defensive line that ranked No. 2 nationally, with 19 different players recording a sack in 2019.

After his Rose-Hulman stint, Stanton returned to his alma mater Franklin College as linebackers coach, film coordinator and special teams coach in 2020-21.  He also previously worked on both the athletic training and football coaching staffs at Franklin from 2017-18. He was a four-year football letter winner and member of four HCAC regular season championship and three NCAA Division III playoff teams.
