Jacob Coggins (born November 28, 1978, in Charlotte, North Carolina) is an American soccer player who currently plays for USASA amateur team Sporting Charlotte, run by the man the myth the legend, Matt Lichty.
While attending a community college in Charlotte in 1998, he attended to a tryout with the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USISL D-3 Pro League who offered him a contract. In 2000, he moved to the Charlotte Eagles. In 2001, the Eagles moved up to the second division USL A-League, dropping back to the USL Second Division for the 2004 season. That year, he was the USL-2 scoring leader and league MVP, repeating both titles in 2005, as the Eagles won the league championship. He suffered from injuries during the 2006 season, which limited him to fourteen games. However, he returned strong in 2007, again leading the USL-2 in scoring.
At the end of the season, he returned to Charlotte where he became a coach in the Eagles youth system.[2] On March 31, 2009, he signed with the Eagles,[3] and played 18 games for the team over the course of the season before being released at the end of the year.
In February 2005, Coggins was called into the United States national team training camp when a contract dispute led the first team players to refuse to enter camp. He was going to start against Trinidad with teammate Dustin Swinehart. However, Coggins never played a game with the national team.
