The talent level in Western Pennsylvania is crazy! Hampton, Sto-Rox, Avonworth, Bethal Park & South Allegheny I’m en route! In search for the next wave of GRIFFINS!
Recruiting tip: Covid-19 has affected high school kids everywhere. Do yourself a favor and be pro-active. If you’ve been contacted by a coach & there is interest apply and add the school to your FAFSA. Show the coach you’re hungry for that opportunity that not many will receive.
One of the first things I ask a receiver is can you hoop? It’s a difference between playing basketball and hoopin. Receiver play is basketball on turf 🏄🏾♂️

running a corner
• Hesitation hop into an out/in/out foot combination with head & shoulder thrust
• Swipe DB’s hand away, stack DB + sell vertical
• Rocker step to sell post with head & shoulder fake inside
• Whip head around + angle toward back of end zone
Recruiting Tip: Just because you’re getting D1 attention, don’t big time other coaches (D2, D3 or NAIA). That attention can fade quickly and those other coaches will remember your character flaw 🏌🏾♂️.
Recruiting 101: Recruits the worst thing you can do is big time a coach because you think you’ve been offered by a “better” program. Be a professional during the process you never know where that coach may end up or who that coach knows 🤲🏾

@AB84
running a hook
• Explodes out of release with 3-step out/in/out move
• Gets vertical to open DB’s hips
• Sticks as DB opens up to run + attacks weak hip & blind spot
• Attacks blind spot for 3 steps forcing DB to speed turn
• Attacks blind spot again + snaps down
So many student athletes focusing solely on the dollar amount...take a chance on yourself and ball out for a coach that can make you great, a coach that will challenge your game daily, a program that resembles everything you stand for...the money will come!
“The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” These two have helped put a stamp on this program that will only continue to go in the right direction....thank you!
Today was huge for our guys and the program! We took a step forward today and fought through adversity...way to bend but NEVER break! Griffins enjoy this WIN it was EARNED not GIVEN! Thank you to the ENTIRE student body and community for showing out today!

Recruits...
1. Unless it’s important make sure you’re in school daily coaches are on the road to meet you.
2. Ask questions in these meetings.
3. Watch what you tweet/like/retweet
4. Enjoy the recruiting process, speak to everyone all levels! Never big time a coach!
Athletes...don’t allow a little adversity to cause you to forget your WHY! Like all things in life this too shall pass but when it does will you be ready? There will be those that use this time as an excuse to take it easy..don’t let it be you!
Word around town is you have to go into the city to find the “real” talent 🤷🏾♂️ Mercyhurst Prep, Erie High, Cathedral Prep, McDowell the PSAC Private School Champs are on the way looking for the new wave of Griffins 🤟🏾😎
#TheGriffinWay
Being a good coach is nothing more than the ability to build relationships with your guys while earning their trust! I can’t fake who I am and I think that’s why I get the rep I get
#solid
It's a big night for the offense as
@WheelingU_FB
puts up 35 points to take down Seton Hill 35-24.
Javon Davis threw for two touchdowns and Elijah Young added two scores on the ground in the win
#GoCards
🗣PSA: Any NCAA ready Offensive Tackles looking for a scholarship opportunity?!? D2 program looking!!! Drop your highlight or hit my inbox...ready....Set....GO!!!!!
It’s funny how football works...years ago I was able to help win an arena football championship (12-0) in the same city I get to recruit amazing talent in...Erie PA I’m here for a few days looking for Griffins 🤟🏾
Recruits keep flooding my timeline/inbox! Trust me I’m going to get back to each and everyone of you! Just because I don’t respond right away don’t mean I won’t. Closed mouths don’t get fed!
So many football players are overwhelmed with emotion right now. Some it’s because you didn’t play your best last season and needed this year to redeem yourself...well let this be a lesson learned give it all you got everytime you GO! We will play again, WILL YOU BE READY?!?
It's a privilege to play college sports. I think sometimes people forget that and think that the game owes them something! Trust me people would love the chance to be a college athlete!
Sometimes in life you have to show the guys how to compete.... offensive coordinator (Robert Dutton) vs defensive coordinator (Eric Daniels)

#BCUfootball
Don’t let social media fool you EVERY successful program does winter workouts/conditioning not just Division 1 schools and just because you don’t attend a Division 1 school doesn’t mean your hard work will go unnoticed
#GRIND
Me: Cali Chris just let it go...and John I want you give me a good release and I’ll meet you in the end zone...
Them: that’s a bet 🤟🏾
It’s GAME WEEK!!!!!
Everyday I’m reminded that the position I’m in is amazing! I get to do something I love and that’s my job. I get to give back to guys just like the game was given to me 🙌🏾
Meet Wide Receivers coach, Andre London! He coaches football because it gave his life structure and discipline and coaching returns the favor he was given. His favorite memory as a player was working out for the Chicago Bears and his favorite movie is Bad Boys!
#MeetTheGriffins
Reason why as a prospective student athlete you should never ghost a coach or think you're too big-time. Signing day is Feb 5th a number of kids will get the news that their desired school is "full" or out of scholarships over the next couple days & their offer will be pulled.
On Wednesday, the PSAC announced the formation of a Social Justice Task Force. The group will aim to educate on diversity, equity and inclusion!
Story ➡️
The receiver position isn’t for everyone...you have to have that it factor to you at all times...everybody wants that all eyes on me pressure until it’s time to make the big play.
#gottalovethisgame
My man coach Dut! Hands down one of the most creative football minds I’ve been around, if you’re looking for a coach with a good heart but understands how to get the best out of his players my man Dut is it! Thankful for everything he’s done for me as a coach and player!
Meet Offensive Coordinator, Robert Dutton. He coaches because when his career ended he couldn’t envision a life without football & always enjoyed the details it took to put a game plan together. His favorite moments are watching his players graduate!
#MeetTheGriffins
The other day I retweeted a post with a athlete celebrating his teams victory...the amount of criticism I’m getting for that post is comical...we live in an era where parents encourage participation trophies and not showing emotion(trash-talking) 🤦🏾♂️
This family is growing day by day! Tonight was definitely a vibe. To have the entire team at the movies just enjoying a Friday night is what this game is about ✊🏾
👐🏾ideouts 4 words to live by “make them chase you.” NO MATTER WHAT a DB can’t make a play unless he’s next to you...so win at the line of scrimmage and run your route on air!
#AFROS
Still think you have to be at a D1 to get noticed?!? Put in the work and they will find you 🤷🏾♂️ Congrats to all the small school guys getting their shot!
If you had $86,400 and someone stole $60, would you throw your life away for revenge? Or move on and live? Each of us have 86,400 seconds every day. Don’t allow someone's negative 60 seconds ruin the remaining 86,340 you have.
Don’t allow one persons opinion on you to cause you to lose faith in your ability. One persons perspective is just that, their perspective not everyones. All it takes is one person to say yes and see you for who you are and what you bring to the table.
So many people use the term “I’m him” well this man really is “HIM” all around genuine dude and really does it all for guys that want to be the best
@210ths
Since when does a league that’s 80% African American, asking for equality not special treatment become a political thing? Why is it so hard to understand African Americans are asking to be treated as equals and not less than? NEWSFLASH It’s 2020 and there is no vaccine for RACISM
Seeing one of my WIDEOUTS get his term grades today and that being a 3.89 is an amazing feeling. True STUDENT athlete as well as an ambassador to the Seton Hill community! It’s bigger than football and we celebrate ALL wins in life!
understanding how overwhelming the recruiting process can be..just remember its a blessing to be going through the process! no matter what division it is! Its an honor none the less!
As of this morning 384 FBS kids entered the transfer portal since December 1st. High School Recruits if a school is showing interest in you don't overlook any opportunity you get to continue your academic/athletic career.
IT’S TWO THINGS WE GET EVERY DAY WE WAKE UP. A CHANCE AND A CHOICE. THE CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE AFTER YOU GET YOUR CHANCE… THAT’S ON YOU; YOU’LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT 🤲🏾
