JARIUS WRIGHT

Seeking employment as a head high school football coach. Due to my numerous years of involvement with NFL and college I have experience motivating teammates, mentoring students, and a vast knowledge of football strategy. I possess a B.A. in Criminology from the University of Arkansas and will complete my Masters this spring from the University of Arkansas Monticello. In my eight-year career in the NFL I played under some of the best coaches in the game. This experience has provided me with a unique outlook on how to communicate to young people. The majority of my time in the NFL I was one of the older individuals in my position group which required me take a leadership role within the subset of the team. I was able to mentor and encourage younger athletes with regards to time management, organization, and life skills which will translate well to teaching high school students.
