Hunter Doucet was named the volunteer assistant coach for Lamar University baseball on December 17, 2019. He comes to Lamar after four seasons as a student manager with the baseball team of the University of Mississippi, including one season as the head manager. Doucet was also the hitting coach for the Fond Du Lac Dock Spiders this past summer.
Doucet helped Ole Miss record a 164-88 record overall and a 64-53 mark in four seasons as a manager, including a school record 48 wins in 2018 when the Rebels won the SEC tournament. Ole Miss hosted an NCAA Regional three of the four season Doucet was in Oxford, Miss., and advanced to the Fayetteville Super Regional in 2019, falling just a game shy of the College World Series. The Rebels had 26 MLB draft picks in that time.
As the hitting coach for Fond Du Lac, Doucet led his team to a .268 batting average with 30 home runs. He coached three Northwoods League All-Stars including Illinois's Kellen Sarver, Western Carolina's Andrew Bullock, and Iowa's Zeb Adreon.

Before attending the University of Mississippi, Doucet graduated from Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School in Beaumont, Texas, in 2015. He was the team's ace his senior season with a 1.25 ERA and a 6-0 record. He had an opposing batting average of .177 and threw a no-hitter on senior night, and helped his team reach the state championship game after failing to qualify for the playoffs the previous eight seasons.
Doucet graduated from Ole Miss in December 2019 with a bachelor's in marketing.
