Being a Floridian born and raised it has been an honor to coach at the University of Florida the past two seasons. Gainesville is a special town and I will always cherish my time here. Thank you to Coach Mullen and Scott Stricklin for giving me an opportunity to coach in my home state. Thank you to the coaching staff, support staff, players and fans for making the past two years an unforgettable experience. I was fortunate to coach a great group of young men. I will miss coaching them and know they will go on to succeed not only on the field, but in life. It has always been a dream of mine to be a head football coach, and feel truly blessed to have this opportunity. I’m excited to start a new journey as the head football coach at Howard University.
