Florida Athletic Coaches Association’s 2024 Hall of Fame.
This honor and recognition acknowledge the efforts of all of you who supported me in this achievement.
Thank you to everyone for your support.
My brother since 1991 got a chance to come recruit our school today. It’s always great to see family.
@r81dugans
always comes by no matter where I’ve been. I appreciate you and love you Dug.
@Coach_Norvell
UCF now has two former Florida High School Head Coaches on staff. Don’t be surprised when they dominate recruiting just like UM did last year with hiring former HS HC’s from the State. Relationships matter. Trust the schools that give the people in your community a opportunity.
I'm excited to be one of the Florida Athletic Coaches Association's 2024 Hall of Fame Inductees. This honor and recognition acknowledges the efforts of all of you who supported me in this achievement. Thank you to everyone for your support.

has been with the Falcons for a year now. It was a true pleasure being your High School Coach. 18 former players now either drafted or FA.
Thank you so much Coach. It’s an honor. Growing up in Florida and watching all the great FL vs. GA games this is a dream come true for me especially to able to represent Manatee High School.
Proud to announce that Yusuf Shakir, Manatee HS, is on board to coach in the FL-GA Showdown on June 6, 2020 in DeLand. Very happy to have in involved with game! Team Florida staff is growing!
If you've ever worked in a school then you know the relationship with your custodial crew is something very special, especially when they're good & you're an HC. Ramon, you were the best I've ever worked with. My condolences to your family. Thank you for always brightening my day
I want to thank my old QB Coach & good friend FAMU Head Football Coach Willie Simmons for giving our players a great word and a tour of the Facilities. We greatly appreciate it
@hcwilliesimmons
Congratulations to Florida HS: Gainesville Eastside, Pensacola Pine Forest, Apopka, Miami Northwestern, University School in Ft. Lauderdale for having NFL 1st round draft picks!
Go Gators! 🐊🐊🐊
Today starts year 18 for me in Education. The first day of every school year I always think about all my past students more than normal and I wish for them peace of mind and success in all that they are striving for in their present lives.
Good luck to all the High School Coaches and players tonight. Players remember when you were the kid playing in the end zone and watching from the gate trying to emulate your favorite player. Some kid is watching you tonight. How will you be remembered? Go Gators! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
Had great time this afternoon talking ball with FAMU HC & my friend Willie Simmons. Seems like yesterday I called you back in 05 and said ah man we need a QB Coach.

People of Faith have Confidence in God, they don't Panic when faced with Life’s Events & Mysteries. However, because we are Human Beings we experience Panic in the form of Anxiety & Depression. At these Moments We use Prayer to God and Praise of God to Transform Panic into Peace.
My players asked about my signing day & I realized I didn’t have a picture. I’m so thankful my Coach David Wilson took pics of everything we did & my Mom has everything. Everyone is laughing in the picture BC when I was signing I was so excited I forgot how to spell my name. 😂
I want to say Congratulations to the Class of 2019 at Lincoln HS especially all the Football Players. This is my first year not being able to make my ex-players graduation. I’m so proud of you guys for this great accomplishment.
I’m so proud of my old QB. Great young man from a great family. It was a true pleasure to be his HS HC. I tell his story all the time. Was 3rd string in 9th grade on JV & out worked everyone to start on varsity as a 10th grader. Would come in at 6am every off-season.
@CB__Knows
Had a great day in Tallahassee today at FSU 7 on 7 on Lineman Camp. Our lineman had a phenomenal day in pads and our 7 on 7 took home the Ship. Thanks again to FSU Head Coach & Manatee Alum Willie Taggart for a great experience for our young men.
@CoachTaggart
@coachdavidkelly
It was such a pleasure to have my former player & current Baltimore Raven Buck Allen talk to our team today about his life journey. Thank you for sharing with the boys today. All they could talk about after you left was how easy you were to talk to.
@realbuckallen
Congratlations Gibbs HS Boys Basketball team on winning the Class 4A State Championship!

Congratulations to my former player and 6am conversation buddy Reggie Davis on his graduation from UGA. We use to talk every morning at about 6am about life when he was in the 9th grade. So happy for you and your family. Women lie men lie numbers don’t.
Covid switched up a lot. 1 thing that will never change is me going out to learn more ball & getting our players recruited by schools all across the country. I appreciate all the coaches at these schools doing what they could for me while I was there under the correct protocols.
Had a great time at Georgia Tech today. Appreciate Coach Johnson for giving me all access today.

@coachdavidkelly
for allowing me to bring my High School Head Coach David Wilson & Tony Collins to practice. These two men have been here for me for everything with football and beyond the game.
People emulate the end results not the process. The end result is what they see so they emulate that. Are you willing to practice your entire life for one small moment. “Jay Z”
