Destin Middle School Football would like to introduce our new Head Coach, Matthew Cawthon. Coach Cawthon is extremely excited about the future of the program and is anxious to get started. We are also please to announce that Coaches Jesse Hanson and James Starling will remain as assistant coaches. Our goal for the spring is to have all players that can contribute to the team come out and stay through the spring and summer workouts and be members of the 2025 Marlin Football Team. We need all players that can play, so there will be a significant effort to recruit everyone on campus who can contribute to the success of the team. We are also beginning our preparations for the season with the Weightlifting Club, which will have its first session on January 21st, 2025 from 3:45p until 5:00PM every Tuesday and Thursday in the weight room. We want to see all Marlin athletes, not just football, at the meetings. We will have spring practice after the spring sports seasons have concluded, we will have firm dates soon. Sometime in April, we will have a parent/player meeting as well to discuss the schedule for the spring and summer.
The coaching staff cannot wait to get this process started and we are looking forward to a successful 2025 season.
