Throughout my life in football, I have been blessed to be around great coaches. As a high school player, I had three Florida legends on my coaching staff. I played at Ocala Trinity Catholic and our offensive staff included wide receivers coach Ricky Nattiel, offensive line coach David Williams, and head coach/offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Kerwin Bell. You couldn’t ask for a better education in the game.
Once I began coaching, that education continued. I got my start under Dave Marino at Palmetto High. Coach Marino played offensive line at Rutgers. He was on the Scarlet Knights team that came down to Florida in 1985 and tied the Gators.
