Humphries is in his third season with the Colts and his first as assistant defensive line coach. He spent the previous two seasons as the team's defensive Dungy Fellow (2024-25). Humphries has 11 years of coaching experience, including seven seasons at the collegiate level.
He assisted with a Colts defense in 2025 that recorded a takeaway in a league-leading 15 games, finished seventh in the NFL in opponent rushing yards per game and 10th in lowest opponent passer rating (88.0). Additionally, Indianapolis led the NFL in red zone takeaways (seven) and ranked sixth in opponent yards per play in the red zone (2.40). Humphries mostly worked with the defensive line. He guided second-year defensive end Laiatu Latu, who started 16 games and tallied 45 tackles (27 solo), team highs in tackles for loss (12.0) and sacks (8.5), five passes defensed, three interceptions and one forced fumble. He was the only player in the NFL to record at least 8.5 sacks and three interceptions in 2025. Additionally, Latu led all defensive linemen in interceptions. Humphries also assisted with defensive tackles Adetomiwa Adebawore and Neville Gallimore, both of whom tied or set single-season career highs in tackles for loss and sacks.
In 2024, Humphries worked with an Indianapolis defense that ranked tied for seventh in the NFL in takeaways (25) and tied for first in the league in red zone takeaways (six). The Colts also ranked 10th in the NFL in tackles for loss (88) and tied for third in forced fumbles (17). He tutored Latu, who ranked tied for first in forced fumbles (three) and strip-sacks (2.0) and fifth in sacks (4.0) among rookies. Humphries coached defensive tackle Grover Stewart and helped him rank second in tackles (74) and seventh in solo tackles (29) among defensive tackles. He also guided DeForest Buckner, who reached at least 6.5 sacks for the seventh consecutive season. Buckner was one of two NFL players to accomplish that feat from 2018-24, joining Myles Garrett.
Prior to Indianapolis, Humphries was a graduate assistant for defense at the University of Kentucky for two seasons (2022-23), where he assisted primarily with the defensive line. He worked with Deone Walker, who earned First Team All-SEC honors from the Associated Press after leading the team in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (7.5) as a sophomore in 2023. Walker ranked eighth in the SEC in sacks.
Humphries previously was the defensive line coach at Heidelberg University (2020-21).
He spent two seasons at Iowa State (2018-19), where he served as defensive line graduate assistant. In 2018, the Cyclones' defense led the Big 12 Conference in scoring defense (22.9) and rushing defense (115.0). Humphries worked with All-Big 12 honorees Ray Lima and Jaquan Bailey. Following the 2019 season, Humphries was promoted to defensive quality control in the spring before leaving for Heidelberg.
