It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of former coach Jim Tarqueno. A truly selfless man who made a lasting impact on countless young men in our program. His leadership, kindness, & dedication will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

OK football friends, lets use this app for some good! We have an opportunity here with @JCUFootball , we are still looking for a Punter in the '26 class. Transfer portal or high school prospect - we are simply looking to add competition for a position that is wide open. Hit me back if you are interested or have someone you would like us to evaluate. Appreciate the assist! #GoStreaks

Fundamentals are key! Master the small things, big things come naturally!

🔒 Lock
👀 Peak
💥 Release

A critical skill in any defensive lineman’s toolbox. Can’t be dominant in the run game without being fundamentally sound!

@TEP5252 Great drill work! Fundamentals first! Have to stop the run to rush the passer

Great teaching tape

@Dline_coach I like to use the same principle but the key is the near knee, especially for N and 3T. Knee back pass, knee goes away down, knee comes forward base, knew goes out reach. I think keeps kids from peeking for the ball.

@Kevin_bart2 @CoachFitzFball @JCUFootball @coachbrycepaul @RedHawkFB @CoachMoede Nice!

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.

Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.

Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.

Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.

I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.

Start now.
