Not only is he now a National Champion, he’s also one of the hot names in the business to get his first head job!!! One of the best. Great coach, elite human.
His name is Jordan Fee from Nova Southeastern.
Thankful for and humbled by this recognition. GREAT PLAYERS make coaches look good & we’re lucky to have had the best, both past & present. Excited for our future! Go, Sharks! 🦈
