About the High School Broyles Award
In 2018, the Broyles Award added to their 26-year tradition of honoring the nation’s best collegiate assistant football coaches through the creation of the High School Broyles Award and the participation of three states. This award honors the top high school assistant football coach in every participating state, projecting their excellence onto the national stage. Past winners such as Doc Crowley (AR, 2019) and Casey Pearce (TX, 2019) have benefitted from partnership with the High School Broyles Award, as both assistant coaches became head coaches.
About the Broyles Award
The Broyles Award was created in 1996 recognizing Coach Frank Broyles’ legacy of selecting and developing great assistants during his almost two decades as head coach at Arkansas. You can follow the Broyles Award on Facebook and Twitter.
