GARVIN USES LIFETIME OF LESSONS TO HELP PREPARE FOR SENIOR SEASON

University of South Alabama senior quarterback Cole Garvin has been around the game of football, well... since birth. It was born and bred in him as the son of a coach.

For his entire life, Cole's dad, Brett, has been a high school football coach in Georgia. When Cole was five, the family moved to Tyrone, Ga., where Brett has been a coach a Sandy Creek High School ever since.

The situation at SCHS provided an uncommon situation for Cole and his brother (Till) to predominantly be around the game with their father.

"We have a unique situation here, which a lot of other coaches don't have access to, but our schools are built on pod systems which means the elementary school was right across from the high school and the same with the middle school," the elder Garvin said.
