Dylan Dunaway enters his fifth year as Pearl River Community College's Sports Information Director during the 2025-26 academic year. He originally joined the department in May 2021 as the Assistant Director of Communications for Athletics and was promoted to SID two months later, in July 2021.
Dunaway oversees all aspects of athletic communications at PRCC alongside Assistant Director of Digital Services Richard Gleber. His responsibilities include managing the Wildcats' social media presence, maintaining statistical records, writing press releases, coordinating game day operations, and serving as the lead administrator for the athletics website, PRCCAthletics.com.
Since arriving at Pearl River, Dunaway has been recognized for his outstanding work in sports communications. In his first year, he earned four awards from the College Public Relations Association of Mississippi (CPRAM) and a national award from the Two-Year Sports Information Directors of America (2YSIDA). He followed that up with six CPRAM awards in 2022-23—including two first-place honors—and five additional CPRAM awards in 2023-24, including one first-place finish.
A proud alumnus of Pearl River, Dunaway began his journey at PRCC as a student worker in the Athletics Communications office. During his time as a student, he served as the public address announcer for the Wildcats' baseball team in 2019 and 2020. He later earned his bachelor’s degree in Sport Management and Business Administration from The University of Southern Mississippi in July 2021.
A native of Poplarville and a 2017 graduate of Poplarville High School, Dunaway credits his late grandfather, Jack Head, for sparking his love of sports. He and his wife, Emma, were married in December 2021 and live in Pearl River County with their dog, Milo.
