DeWitt junior tight end Dax Courtney, who received an offer from the Hogs on Tuesday, is the son of DeWitt head Coach Mark Courtney. His oldest son, Seth, was the starting quarterback for the Dragons last season and will join Arkansas State University as a preferred walk-on this summer.
“It’s a very good experience,” Mark Courtney said of coaching his sons. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but I have to hold them to a higher standard. With parents nowadays, you don’t want them to think you’re showing any favoritism.”
Dax and Seth have been raised around football since an early age.
