Head Football Coach Scott Parr has completed his first year with the Javelinas and is looking to add new tools to a roster that went 5-6 last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s signing class, announced Feb. 4, includes 34 high school athletes and 13 mid-year transfers ready to dawn the Javelina Blue and Gold next Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe tried to find guys that love football. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to do, but you got to love football. You got to love it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGotta love the whole process of it. If I get demoted on the depth chart, if I get injured, I got to love the weight room; I got to love the meeting room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you have a gut-wrenching loss, I got to love it,\u201d Parr said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with new recruits Parr has chosen a new defensive coordinator in Coach Cortez Carter. Last year Carter was the linebackers\u2019 coach for D1 program Coastal Carolina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the press conference Carter showed high energy and excitement for the next step in his coaching career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carter will be replacing previous defensive coordinator Jameson Bisch who led many dominant Javelina defenses to statistically sound seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, I\u2019m chomping at the bit right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m ready to go with these guys. Seeing them move around a little bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having a few meetings with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are hungry. They\u2019re determined, right? They\u2019re looking for the best versions of themselves daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are laying the ground, the ground foundation of what heart\u2019s going to mean on defense,\u201d Carter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unfortunate reality of any college sport is players and athletes come and go, whether it\u2019s the transfer portal which is now more active than ever, or simply graduating or running out of eligibility to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But when athletes go there is room made for new ones looking to do what the ones before them did and even outperform them, this is what makes recruiting a crucial aspect in the world of college sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think Coach Parr has a great plan with the culture, and it\u2019s been on the up and up for the last six years, so I expect that\u2019s going to be the same. I think that the D line is going to do what it always does, and just beat the heck out of everyone that they play against. All the line\u2019s going to do the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like I said last season. Games were won in the trenches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I think that that\u2019s an expectation here, and I think that\u2019s going to continue,\u201d Javelina football alumnus Tre Robbins said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
