BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
We have a very special guest today who made a tremendous impact in the life of Coach Kovo's younger brother Ryan (ep. 56) when he was the OL coach for the Fort Bend Travis Tigers. He went on for another successful stint coaching at Cinco Ranch and Alief Elsik and now is a Partner with the New York Life Insurance Agency (Coach Kovo is actually a long-time client) - welcome Matt Farmer to the show!
- Growing up in the Northwest Kansas town of Colby in a graduating class of 87, and yes Matt Farmer did grow up on a farm! But don't let the small town fool you, those boys could play some ball and Matt was a part of a very special class his senior year. All of this included the 205-pound version of Matt Farmer delivering a huge pick-6!!
- Matt took a chance on himself developing his skill set at Fort Scott Community College and parlayed that investment into a great opportunity seeing a new part of the country at a 4-year school as a proud Richmond Spider football player!
- As someone who successfully transferred from one school to another to improve his stock we take a dive into the role of the transfer portal in today's college game, how it's seeping down into the high school level, and even possibilities for how to share revenue with the players.
- Coach had a several stops at successful programs across the Houston area including Spring Westfield, Fort Bend Travis, Cinco Ranch, and Alief Elsik. But it is his last year at Travis that we really dig into, a team that he helped lay the foundation for when they opened it as a brand new school, culminating in their 1st District Championship in school history against a heavily favored juggernaut in the Elkins Knights.
- Finally as a longtime O-line guru, we get Matt Farmer's official personal big dawgs of the trenches Mt. Rushmore!
