“I am grateful for the chance to come back to Central and continue to change the culture of this program! I want to thank Coach McNett for bringing me onto his staff! I am excited for the chance to coach the players on this roster and see them grow throughout the year; not only as players, but more importantly, as men. Go Tigers!”
