Geoff’s dad Gene Strickland was elated with his son’s decision to play at Sewanee University which is located in Tennessee. “I feel fantastic!” Said Gene Strickland, father of Geoff. “It’s an academic package to play division III football and it’s a huge relief to see him (Geoff) go to a school of that caliber that he wants to go to.”
4Q 2011 Spring Preview: NFC Eagles
With a strong sense of urgency NFC Head Coach Robert Kraft paced around the Eagles practice on one of the hottest afternoons in May. Keeping a watchful eye on each 5 minute segment of the up-tempo session, Kraft was immersed in the foot-work and eye-movement of senior quarterback Matt Dobson. Kraft’s focus on the little things has had an effect on his players as well. “We have about 19 seniors this year and they’ve been working hard since Christmas”, Kraft said. “We’ve had a great off-season. And I contribute a lot of that to our seniors. This group has gotten a taste of what it takes to win it all.”

After a 6-4 season that saw North Florida Christian miss the playoffs for the first time since 1991, the Eagles were obviously more than ready to get back to work this spring. “When we lost our final game of the 2010 season, the following Monday we were right back at work getting prepared,” standout defensive back Travis Blanks said. NFC quarterback Matt Dobson also stated, “We’ve had a very long off-season, so it feels great to get back out here… The energy and enthusiasm is really up among the players.”

Former Local Prep Star Willie Simmons Promoted to Offensive Coordinator
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill announced today he has elevated Steve Ellis and Willie Simmons to coordinator roles for the Blue Raiders. Ellis will take over as the program’s defensive coordinator while Simmons will be Stockstill’s new offensive coordinator.
“Both Steve and Willie have everything I am looking for in the coordinator positions,” said Stockstill. “They possess great knowledge of what we want to run at Middle Tennessee, are highly organized, and coach with unmatched passion and enthusiasm. Our players will feed off their energy level.
“I am totally confident in both Steve and Willie and know they will do an outstanding job in preparing our players both offensively and defensively.”
Ellis, who just completed his second season with the Blue Raiders as cornerbacks and special teams coach, was the defensive coordinator at Nicholls State from 2006 to 2008. In 2006, his unit ranked 19th nationally in total defense and the 2007 squad ranked 33rd.
The 30-year old Stringer, Miss., native produced a first team all-conference selection in Rod Issac and helped the defense lead the league in pass defense for a second consecutive season in 2010. Starters Issac and Arness Ikner accounted for four interceptions and nine pass breakups, while Issac scored twice.
Ellis’ special teams was solid once again in 2010 with six blocked kicks and produced first team all-conference picks in placekicker Alan Gendreau and punter Josh Davis.
In 2009, Ellis’ cornerbacks had 152 tackles, nine interceptions, 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and 21 pass breakups on their way to leading the Sun Belt Conference in pass defense and interceptions. Seniors Marcus Udell and Alex Suber were tabbed first team all-conference as Udell led the league with seven interceptions and Suber had 12 pass breakups while ranking 28th nationally in passes defended.
His special teams blocked eight kicks, hit 18 of 22 field goal attempts, had 1,119 yards in kick returns, downed 22 punts inside the 20-yard line, and had seven punts of 50 yards or more. Gendreau earned first team all-conference honors.
“I am very excited about the opportunity and can’t wait to get started,” said Ellis, who will also remain as the cornerbacks coach. “We will play with a lot of confidence and a sense of urgency. Our mentality will be when the ball is kicked, here we come.
“We lost a lot of guys on defense but that will not be an excuse. We will get guys ready to play, go fast and swarm to the football.”
Simmons, 30, has been the Blue Raiders’ running backs coach the past four years and will be handling coordinator duties for the first time in his career. Simmons will also continue coaching the running backs.
“Personally, I am excited about the opportunity for me as a young coach in the profession,” said Simmons. “It says a lot about Rick Stockstill and his belief in me and I am grateful for the chance.”
A native of Quincy, Fla., Simmons had his deepest group of backs in 2010 with Phillip Tanner, Benjamin Cunningham, and D.D. Kyles leading the way. The threesome helped the Blue Raiders produce one of the top rushing attacks in the country while combining for 21 touchdowns. All three averaged more than 4.5 yards a carry and Tanner went on to garner all-conference honors.
Simmons had a real challenge in 2009 when Tanner went down with an injury in the second game of the season, leaving the Blue Raiders without an experienced running back. Simmons guided Kyles to a career year as the sophomore posted 857 yards on 139 carries (6.2 ypc average), scored three touchdowns, and had 14 receptions. Kyles, the team’s leading rusher down the stretch, had three straight 100-yard rushing games during the last half of the season.
In 2008, Tanner had personal bests at the time in rushing yards, receptions, and touchdowns. Also under Simmons’ watch, Tanner earned National Player of the Week honors after setting a Sun Belt Conference and Blue Raider scoring record with six touchdowns in a win over North Texas. “We have a lot of guys coming back who are eager to take another step in the development of this program,” added Simmons. “We have a veteran offensive line, two good quarterbacks, and productive skill players so the pieces are in place. The job now is to work on our fundamentals and limit the turnovers.
“We want to be as balanced as possible, maximize our strengths, and put the best players on the field. Our tempo will be a major focus. We need to improve on what we have built in the past and try to be the fastest team in the country between snaps.”
Stockstill hopes to announce a new quarterbacks coach and linebackers coach in the very near future.
Chiles appoints Lassiter as new head football coach
By WIll Brown • Democrat Staff Writer • Published: February 08. 2011 5:36PM
The interim label for Mike Lassiter is a thing of the past. Tuesday, the former defensive coordinator, and interim head coach was named the head football coach at Chiles High School.
“The main thing is you’re not responsible for a segment, you are responsible for the success and failure of the entire program,” Lassiter said. “There is a lot that goes into that besides what happens on Friday night. …There will be a little bit of a challenge, but I wouldn’t have applied for the job if I didn’t think I was up for the challenge.”
Lassiter is the fifth head coach in school history and will replace Barney Myers, who stepped down late last month. Lassiter is the Dean of Students at the school and will continue in that capacity.
When Myers resigned Chiles principal said at the time the new Timberwovles head coach “is going to need to be high-energy and have an unparalleled work ethic. It’s going to take an extensive offseason and summer workout program, an ability to work with his fellow teachers and the staff.”
Lassiter is eagerly excited to do that and more. One of his top priorities is to foster an environment where players, parents and the Chiles community believe in what he and his coaches are trying to bring to north Tallahassee.
As someone who has been with the school and the program since it opened, Lassiter said he understands the culture surrounding the program, and looks to take some of the best ideas of his predecessors as he attempts to turn the program around.
“If we can get some buy-in from our student-athletes that is what I would like to do off the bat this upcoming season: doing what it takes to not only be successful on Friday nights, but (for the students) to buy into something that is bigger than themselves,” he said.
