DONTEZ BYRD
Summary
Determined and highly motivated football coach. I have experience at every level of football as an athlete and have also been around tremendous coaches where I have been able to learn a great deal about coaching and the game of football. That experience has given me the ability to effectively work with student-athletes in perfecting their own skill sets, while helping them grow as young men (mentally, physically and socially).
