We do drills that reflect what shows up on game film. The standard is the standard, and we keep fighting to meet it every day. Detailed practice scripts and organization pay off with our boys. @CouchPSports @PrepRedzoneNM @smallsadventure @Coach_Brisnehan

He was throwing dots & led Hermitage to a state championship. 🏆🎯

My commitment with @BonnFootball fell through. this is proof that I never stopped working never stopped grinding life comes with step backs and I’ve overcame them. I’m working every week to get better. Now I just need a home. @nmmibroncos @unlvfootball @UNMLoboFB @HCWillieSimmons

Today I removed 29 young men from our roster. 😭

I’m not going to let anyone else tell this story first, so here it is from me.

This year we went tuition free. Not reduced. Free. Because I never wanted cost to be the thing that stopped a kid from getting to the next level.

What was asked in return was in the contract every player signed and initialed: a $500 deposit, and a commitment to raise $500 through our fundraiser. That’s it. One thousand dollars, half of it raised from family, friends, and local sponsors, for a tuition-free post-grad year.

Twenty-nine players paid zero.

Since 2022 I have tried to meet families where they are. That has never been a marketing line … it’s how I actually run this. If a family couldn’t pay, we found a way. I fundraised. I took on extra work through my marketing company and used it to pay BFA’s bills. When invoices went unpaid, I ate them, because I could not stomach being the reason a kid went home.

I’ve carried more than my share and I’d do it again. Last year our fundraising brought in about $20,000. I personally put in roughly $50,000 through my marketing company and there was another $37,000 in unpaid invoices because I didn’t want to be the reason a kid went home. I don’t regret a dollar of it. But I’ve learned that generosity without structure isn’t generosity … it’s just a slower way to run out of the ability to help anyone.

I want to be clear about something that matters to me more than the money: the kids whose families never paid their bills still got everything from me. I never once took it out on a player. I still worked their film, still made the calls, still fought for them. One family walked away owing us about $2,000. We did our job anyway. That young man is at his dream school today, and I’m proud of him. I’d make that same choice again tomorrow.

So this isn’t bitterness. This is math finally catching up with me. (Can’t I win the lotto or land a huge sponsor lol)

When I looked at the money that actually came in, nearly all of it came from local families. Housing is our single largest cost - close to $100,000 a season - and it exists for out-of-state players. I was being asked to carry a six-figure housing bill funded almost entirely by players who don’t need housing, on the hope the rest would eventually pay.

I won’t do that.

Not to the families who did pay, not to the vendors who trusted us, and not to a program that has been the longest-running post-grad in Florida and is going to stay that way! 💪🏽🏈

So we are eliminating program-provided housing.

For the few out-of-state players who paid and can’t arrange their own housing: they have not been dropped. I am still doing their recruiting. I have their high school film and I know how to use it. I’ll keep working until they land somewhere.

We ARE running a season, we are building around our roster, and we are recruiting a few more locals …over 1/2 the original roster was locals.

We work all year for these kids. We’re not done. 💪🏽🏈

Commit to our mission 👉🏼 https://t.co/2dKGuRpwAn

The wait is over …

After a lot of changes due to multiple post grads dropping we can release our 2026 schedule.

Almost ALL college teams!

Time to show what an Emperor is made of!!!! 🏈🏈🏈

[Jill @JillElizabethT]

I’ve had a few people lately give me a hard time about @BonnFootball not playing post-grad teams outside of the @NCPAA_Football … so let me address it clearly.

First - this is our program. I’ve built it, funded it, grown it, and protected it with the help of my amazing staff. Every decision we make is about what is best for our players and their future. Period.

Second - there is a reason the NCPAA exists.

We vet teams. Not casually … thoroughly.

Before we ever step on a field, we’re asking real questions:

Are there 30+ players on the roster … or are we showing up to play a team with 15–16 kids and calling it development?

Are the players actually post-grad age … or are we lining up against 25 - 26 year olds in what is supposed to be a college pathway?

Are those athletes enrolled in legitimate academic programs … or just wearing a jersey on Saturdays?

Has the field been vetted … or are we playing on a random patch of grass in a public park?

At BFA, we play on real fields. College-level environments. Professional settings. Because that’s the standard our players deserve.

This isn’t about ego. It’s about integrity.

There are a lot of programs in this space that cut corners, blur lines, and chase games just to fill a schedule. That’s not us.

We are building something real. Something respected. Something that actually helps young men get to college and change their lives.

So no .... we’re not just going to play anyone.

We are going to play vetted programs, in structured environments, against teams that meet the same standards we hold ourselves to.

I will not compromise that. Not for a game. Not for opinions. Not for noise.

If you know, you know.
