Make sure you complete the FAFSA and put the school codes of the schools that are interested in you and you are interested in!
A LOT of schools (FCS, NAIA, D2, D3) can not offer you an official athletic scholarship without this!!
You love it when a plan comes together. I tell my guys all the time, the view looks good from the 🔝, while you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I remind myself KEEP, GOING. There’s so much more to come!

. Our nation is dealing w/ a pandemic, & a social movement to accentuate that Black Lives Matter.The racism & injustice, we have seen, in recent weeks are evidence that we have systemic failures.
We played our tails off, left everything on the field, but came up short. We went toe to toe with the

team in the country and had them on the ropes in the 4th quarter. I couldn’t be more proud of how our boys represented

Arguably the best part of the job! Even during fall break, had a productive day recruiting the outskirts of Knoxville, TN. Tomorrow I will hit the city, west side and catch the Austin-East vs Pigeon Forge game. Ton of talent in Knoxville!

ALERT: Several Bears spotted in Louisville, South Florida and Knoxville!!! HS prospects make sure you are prepared for opportunity when it comes knocking.
#WinTheMoment
Consistency is harder when you feel no one is clapping for you. In those times you must clap for yourself. You should always be your biggest fan. Remember the only person you have to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
#BeGreatToday
8 years ago today I accepted Him into my life...and I still stand firm in my faith. Why? Because faith tells me that no matter what lies ahead, God is already there.
Stop calling it a dream and start calling it a plan. I’m not lucky, I’m blessed.
Proud to announce that I have been selected to speak at the Orlando Glazier Clinic in February. Great opportunity to improve as a coach/leader. I’m glad to be able to learn and hone my craft in a setting like this.

Now this is what I’m talkin about!
Setting a standard here
@UPIKEFOOTBALL
We had 93 guys go through spring workouts before the pandemic and finished with perhaps the highest GPA in one semester as team in 10 years!
Team Spring GPA - 2.93
56 - 3.0 gpa or better
4 - perfect 4.0
Believe in yourself and all that you stand for. Know that there is something inside of you that’s bigger than any obstacle you face. True success is earned, not given.
It’s hard to find peace and happiness within yourself. People are constantly wanting more and forgetting to appreciate what they do have. Until you find peace and happiness in yourself, you ain’t gonna find it anywhere else.
Remember blessings are often disguised as misfortune.
You should not be ashamed of your values. Stay true to your code of ethics. Sometimes the content of your character is all you have.
There are a lot of people that need to adjust their moral compass. Especially if you are in a position of leadership. Your actions speak volumes.
Another one in the books! It was great to see everyone. Makes me proud to be apart of such a great network and watch men develop other men. Made some great new connections as well.

thank you to the
@OB_Showcase
for putting on a great event and allowing these young men to realize awesome opportunities!
Make sure you prepare yourself to deal with adversity. Expect the best, prepare for the worse. As hard as you work you’re still going to have setbacks along the way.
Don’t get lazy, it’s disrespectful to all of those people that believe in you.
For all of you 2021 prospects who are “serious” about earning a scholarship to play ball this year, handle your business!
If I had a dollar for every time I wanted to offer a kid but couldn’t because they haven’t taken the test yet, I would be a rich!
#WhatsYourExcuse
Your mental attitude gives your entire personality a drawing power that attracts the circumstances, things and people you think about most. Remember change is inevitable, growth is intentional. Focus on what you want and go get it!
Good people, prepare yourself for other’s “true colors” to show. I know this may be hard but you are going to see people that you’ve known for a long time show you how they really feel.
It’s ok. They are letting you know what they truly believe in. What you do and say matters.
It was a Hollywood kind of day today. Thanks Coach Jones and Coach Senatus for taking care of me. Two great coaches, that lead their young men.
