Utah Valley University athletic director Dr. Jared Sumsion has announced the hiring of Matt Haskell as the department's equipment director. Haskell takes over as equipment director from Mike Guymon, who retired last fall after over 30 years in the position. 

Haskell joined Utah Valley University Athletics in the fall of 2023. Before UVU, he worked as an equipment manager at the University of Nevada and the University of Utah. He is responsible for the supervision of Utah Valley's equipment and uniforms for all teams along with all three equipment rooms on campus.

A native of Lehi, Utah, Haskell graduated from The University of Utah with a bachelor of science in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism, with an emphasis in Community, Commercial and Sport Management. During that time, he started working in equipment at the University of Utah with both the football team and all Olympic teams as a student manager, intern, and full-time employee.
