Congrats @Carter11Bell for getting All-Missouri Valley. 41 catches for 673 at 16.4 a catch with 5 TDs. 2nd leading punt returner in the league with a return TD. Not too shabby and still 3 years left. Sky’s the limit!

Proud of @Carter11Bell even though his season got cut short cuz of COVID. #5 in the Missouri Valley Conference in yds per game, #8 in catches per game, and #3 in yds per catch, plus only freshman in the top 10 in two of those categories. Not too bad for a former high school QB.

Walls are done, carpet is down, and furniture is in. All we need now are the big screen on the wall and multiple XBOX stations. Big time player's lounge. Waiting for the @AugieILfootball players to arrive!! No better alumni base out there! #allaboutrelationships

Ecstatic to announce that Andrew Harris will be joining the @AugieILfootball coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball. Played FCS ball at Samford University (AL). Tremendous addition to our staff and can’t wait for our guys to meet him!!

The difference at the collegiate level and especially at the pro level is who can master their craft and has the football IQ to recognize when and what tool to use in the moment. Not the biggest, not the fastest, but DEADLY EFFICIENT! @renfrowhunter #completedude.
Shuffled him outside, dove inside to sell the slant, slammed the brakes and hit the whip route. @renfrowhunter is a technician‼️

Just got one of the coolest calls a Coach can get. Former player of mine 16 years ago, an All-American linebacker, calls and asks if my wife and I can be at his Hall of Fame induction. Wouldn’t miss it for the world. This is “why” we Coach, to share these moments!!! #priceless.

That's a wrap!! It's been quite a ride @Carter11Bell It's been a blast watching you "love it" for the past 14 years since you started Tee Ball and flag at the Y. No more driving 85-90 mph to get to your games after my practice. Can't wait to see your next chapter!! #waytoofast

Great day for @Carter11Bell at Iowa Showcase camp yesterday. Top 3 40 in the camp, wish they would have tested Pro Agility, has gone 4.0 multiple times this camp season. Tore up 1 on 1s. Has only repped at WR 5 times in his life now. Can't wait for when he actually practices it.

The % of kids that play D3 and get a shot in the NFL is minute. It’s even more amazing see a D3 player build a 9 year NFL career. @AlexTanney was an amazing player to coach with an unparalleled football IQ and work ethic. So fortunate to have coached him in college!! #respect.

Oh I heard that loud and clear, can I get a copy of that moment on loop so I can replay in my office every morning 😂 . @MattRandazzo @Carter11Bell.
"Growing up with a Dad who knows what he's talking about"- @Carter11Bell admitting @Coach19Bell was right about ALOT growing up:). It was extremely fun catching up with former @BETTfootball standout and record setting WR at @SDCoyotesFB Carter Bell!. Check out full interview

**IMPORTANT NOTE** - When you Negative Recruit, make sure the kids you are blatantly lying to or fabricating info for, don’t share those texts or information with the school you’re talking bad about! FYI- it embarrasses your program and why aren’t you confident in your school??.
