The First Academy football announces new defensive coordinator

The First Academy football has seen a major overhaul this offseason, with plenty of new coaches on its staff and transfers on its roster, but the Royals aren’t done reshaping their program quite yet. 

Jacob Gill has been named the new defensive coordinator for TFA and has become the second new coordinator the team has introduced this year. He also will serve on the TFA athletics staff as the new associate director of athletics, under new athletics director and football coach Jeff Conaway. 

Gill joins the Royals staff after one season as the head coach at Brentwood Academy in Tennessee — his first head coaching position. Prior to his stop in Tennessee, Gill served as Conaway’s defensive coordinator at Shiloh Christian in Arkansas.
