New RB coach at Belton HS. Congrats and point your studs north.

Good for him. Good to see so many of our former leaders out there leading young men.

Congrats B. Byrd!

Belton got a good one. Congrats Brandin!

So upset we didn't get him here. Feel bad we gotta put it on a fellow Mean Greeen alum!

Does anyone know how many alums we have coaching in HS right now? If so, how does that compare to other schools in C-USA?

unt_rocket09 · July 18, 2017

Players or alums lol? Bc that would be a very hard stat to track down. I know on this board there is me and at least one other coaching in the HS ranks. Bc cool if we could get a list going. I'll start:

Chris VanCleave (UNT 2009) Harker Heights HS-Killeen ISD: Varsity Safeties/Head Track

Luke Barganier (UNT 2013) Harker Heights HS-Killeen ISD: Varsity Corners/Assistant Track

He was a grad assistant with us last year.

Talked to his folks a couple times at games back when he played. They seemed like good people. Hopefully it's just a stepping stone for Brandin.

He always struck me as a pretty solid young man. Best of luck to him.

I meant here at my HS. I know he was at UNT

Derek Thompson, Kelvin Drake, and Issac Thomas are at Sherman HS.

I believe Brandon Jackson is somewhere, and Cobbs too.

Jackson is at Frisco Lone Star and Cobbs is at Denton Ryan.

There are a bunch of former players coaching all over Texas.

You shouldn't be surprised that there are lots of UNT alum, not just former football players, coaching at the high school level in Texas. I run into them all the time while reffing on Thursday and Friday night.
