Love these men! They have a heart for each other, a deep love for the game, and an earnest desire to grow in their relationship with Christ.

I've had the pleasure of having a front-row seat for Levi's holistic growth over the last 7 years with
@Dordtfb
and he's more than ready for this next step in his football journey!
I'm going to miss watching this guy make plays on Saturdays! The last 5 years have been full of memorable catches. I'm VERY excited to see his work with the
@Dordtfb
WR position room as he transitions to their coach.
Congratulations to this week's GPAC Offensive Player of the Week, Levi Jungling! Jungling had 102 receiving yards and 3 total TDs on Saturday vs. Jamestown. It was his fifth game of the season of 100+ reception yards.
So excited about Konner and his commitment to

This fall will be year 7 for the two of us working together

Incredible defensive back, but an even better young man! Personified humility in his willingness to move from WR to DB, then elite toughness to start every game for 4 years.
He likely has played the most snaps in
@DordtFB
history with contribution on 3 of 4 core special teams.
Shoutout to Nathan Kabongo on his All Conference selection (again).

"I think we should play zone."
Teammate: "They are a 3pt shooting team. We don't want to play zone."
@CoachPelot
"That's fine, call Outside Zone."

This is what makes

"One of the main drivers that made me choose Dordt was to become a part of the Industry Standard program, to set an example for others not only in football, but in life and for the younger generation.

commits will be wrestling across the Midwest today! Supports the notion that we have a ton of physicality and toughness in this signing class.

It was a great first day in West TX. Got to meet some special coaches, tremendous players, and hear

Nathan is the ultimate competitor! I'm sure this was always a goal of his, but he never let individual goals or aspirations come before what was best for the team.

Another great Ravens vs. Steelers game coming down to the wire. More points than usual, but the same physicality. What a run these two teams have had the last 10 years.
What an awesome 2nd day in West TX. I got to meet some difference makers in the class of 2019 who fit the mission of our program. Closed the day out with 3 committed

Combines the Avoid Drill, Contact Drill, and Angle Tackle to create a complex kick off drill.
Like using this drill in camp, once we’ve taught the 3 separate drills, as a complex Indy segment for Kick Off.

"I committed to Dordt because it is the perfect place for me. I fit the football team well, my faith fits Dordt well, and I feel like it is a place that I can thrive at. I am very excited for my future here."
This just made my day! Time to sit back relax and hear what the Sheriff has to say. For all you "arm chair quarterbacks" out there get your notepad out because class is officially in session.
@Coach_CTyson
DC is on the field and says "I need a safety." Coach in the box replies "I am working on it." With his phone out actively texting safety recruits.
Grant is a relentless worker who personifies what
@dordtfb
is all about. I thoroughly enjoyed serving as his recruiting coach & now I can't wait to be his position coach for the next 4 years!
