ATHLETES COME TRAIN AND PRACTICE LIKE COLLEGE ATHLETES. Spend 4 hours on academics daily and dedicate 3 hours to honing your craft through weightlifting, high-performance training, and position-specific training. Imagine the athlete you could become by working on your game for 3 hours before practice; how prepared you and your body will be for the next level.

Over the next few weeks we will be conducting a Meet the Coaches series, getting to know our assistant coaches, football operations team, and recruiting team. A Head Coach is only as effective as his staff, and I must say I am fortunate.
Isaiah Taylor join my staff was blessing any time you can add another former WINNING Head coach to the staff is a blessing. Coach is coaching our WR but brings so much more coordinating our passing game as well
As development. Coach is 1/4 former head coaches on the staff bring knowledge and perspective that helps me on and off the field.

First St James Academy Football Commit in school history . Special player and family
First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability, strength, and opportunity to chase my dreams. Without Him, none of this would be possible.
To my family, coaches, teammates, and friends — thank you for believing in me, pushing me, and standing by me through every high and low. Your support has meant everything.
After much thought, prayer, and consideration, I am beyond excited to announce that I am 100% committed to @JMUFootball!
Go Dukes! 💜💛
