@FBCoachDBrown
Hello Coach Brown! My name is Kayla Feathers and I am reaching out to you in hopes you will come to New Jersey in June to surprise one of your old football players, Brandon Smith. He played for you at UMass Amherst in 2006 and has ALS. We are hosting an event in
Please help me in showing support for the woman who has had my back both on and off the field for over four decades. My wife has joined forces with the Chad Tough Foundation in helping to raise both awareness and funds for pediatric brain tumors and DIPG.
Happy birthday to a special person and player. Jabrill Peppers is a unique talent and one of the smartest players I’ve had the pleasure of coaching.
@JabrillPeppers
The best players in Michigan go to Michigan! Congrats to freshman
@makaripaige
for earning Guy status yesterday— Makari has been competing at a high level since he got on campus.
These young men are working their butts off and doing everything we ask of them. They deserve a FULL STADIUM, and the BEST student section in the country! Tucson, we need you!

Congratulations to
@JuliusWelschof
for being today’s DUDE of the day—Juice was flying around the field making plays!
@daxhill5

Two big time players showed up and showed out last practice,
@Luiji_V

@VinceGray_
made several huge plays, including a big PBU on third down, securing himself as a Guy!
I’m challenging all UMass Football alum and any one that can help support one of my former players. No better teammate, no tougher player I ever coached. Lets SMASH this goal and get him what he needs to live the best life with his beautiful family!
@LanceBriggs
is a DUDE in every sense of the word, one of the best to play linebacker for the Wildcats and a 7x NFL Pro Bowler!! Great to see so many Arizona greats back in Tucson!

Two veterans brought their best today—
@bradhawkins9
was lock down all day earning himself a DUDE of the Day selection.
@aidanhutch97
was near the ball causing consistent chaos and solidifying himself as today’s GUY.
This man was one of the most influential people in my professional career. I learned so much from this man about the great game of football. He challenged me to be my best every single day. Coach may be gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Coach Yukica
