This one has been a long time coming! God has blessed me with an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m excited to announce that I am now the new assistant OL Coach/Offensive QC for the Long Island University Sharks. Thank you to everyone supported me along the way. Go Sharks!
#FinsUp
I’m very excited to announce I’ve been accepted to Lake Erie College as a graduate assistant for the football program. I’ll be joining Coach Murphy and his staff as the Tight Ends coach and director of football research and analytics. I couldn’t be more thankful!

Final grades came out and I got a 3.85 for the semester in grad school during a full season of football.
To do great things on the field, you must first do great things off of it ‼️
Finally walked the stage for my college graduation and officially received my Master’s degree.
I’m thankful for God granting me the wisdom and strength to endure the journey, and for everyone who supported me along the way.
Now, it’s all football - all the time 😁

Congratulations to Josh Hufstetler for earning honorable mention honors on the Don Hensen Division II All-America Team!

If having high gas prices means that the American people would rather have love in that office instead of hate, that equality is a priority once more, and people from all walks of life can feel safe, then I’m all for it.
This is a hilariously bad take. Portnoy couldn’t even keep the divisions straight yet he’s bashing D3 ball?
D3 ball is still college ball, and it’s still exceptional.
No need to make the young men who give their all in the sport, feel like they’re worthless. Come on now.
My mental health took over me this year something i never thought would’ve happened to me. I’ll be back ✊🏾🖤trust me
To the players dealing with it: talk to someone your not alone.

I stood with legends last night as the Detroit Lions celebrated former players during Monday Night 🏈
As a former player, now coach, I am forced to reflect on all the lessons football has taught me.

How perfect to have some rain at the Lake Erie Storm camp tonight?!
It was incredible to see so many young men devote themselves to being there and changing their best. Loved every minute of it!
I’m so blessed to be apart of this group of men every single day. I wear my sweatshirt proudly with the rest of them. They make me a better man and coach every day. And this guy right here 👇🏻 is the best mentor a young coach could ask for.

He’s the reason I had the opportunity to pick up the whistle and chase my dreams.
He genuinely cares about his people and will do whatever he can for them. He changed my life for the better.
Get at him and go work for one of the best people in the business ‼️
Officially official, I promise I’m more excited than the picture leads on😂😅 I was trying to be a tough guy 🟢🌪⚡️

A great man who helped me get where I am today. Observing him was a blessing and I learned so many lessons. Hope to see you down the road Coach Rod!
@CoachZoneEyes
Both of these men were instrumental in shaping who I am today, in football and in life. They taught this kid from Akron a lot and I owe them a mound of gratitude. Much love.

Zach is one of my very favorite people to be around. His energy is contagious and despite being on opposite sides of the ball, we still show much love to each other! Couldn’t ask for a better man to be in the program. He makes me better every day!

@Coach_Worsell
sat me down and ask me what I wanted to do for a career. For the first time it felt like someone had my best interest at heart. He told me he'd do everything he could to help me get a job. He bet on me and that's something money can't buy. I'll never forget it.

🚨 CAMP ALERT ‼️ 🚨
We are just 5 DAYS away from our last Prospect Camp here at Lake Erie College. Come out and compete for an opportunity to earn a scholarship! Registration link below 👇🏻👇🏻
June 27, 2023 - Prospect Camp
Being a GA has been one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences of my career so far. I consider myself blessed to wake up and say I get to do this every day. I could say so much about it, but in summation, I absolutely love what I do.
Being a GA was the greatest football learning I could have had. Doing all the dirty work; from film break down, to drawing cards, to running scout team O, to class and grade checks. Nowadays many people want a title before being willing to serve and work behind the scenes.
🚨 Our Final Lake Erie Camp less than 24 hours away ‼️🚨
We’re hosting our final camp in Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon
Come take the opportunity to show up, show out, and get better!
My grandpa passed away on Monday morning after a great, long life. Looking at him was always like looking into a mirror. Here’s to you grandpa, I’ll miss you.
I’ve never really started to feel old until now. All of the QBs I grew up watching are now retired. It was awesome to see all of them play in their Prime. Now it’s time for the next Generation to take over entirely.
PSA to all recruits making highlight tapes: please highlight yourself BEFORE the ball is snapped!
Coaches want to see EVERYTHING you do during the play!!
