MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Montgomery County Board of Education has selected a former Lee High graduate to lead the school’s football program this fall.
At its Tuesday board meeting, the board voted to hire 1994 Lee alum and current Alabama State University Defensive Line Coach Tyrone Rogers as the Generals new head football coach.
“Coach Rogers has several years of experience and the ability to motivate students to succeed both in the classroom and on the playing field,” said Superintendent Barbara Thompson. “He has demonstrated a knack for developing potential in student-athletes and he is very dedicated to the football program he once played for in high school. I think he is a great choice for Lee and we look forward to many successful football seasons.”
Rogers brings more than 13 years of experience to the position. A former football standout at ASU, his collegiate career was marked by several honors including Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Preseason All-American, ASU Turkey Day Classic Most Valuable Player and being selected to participate in the HBCU All-Star Bowl.
From 1999-2004, he played professionally as a defensive end for the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, earning Player of the Week honors three times.
Since leaving the league, he had enjoyed several coaching experiences including the Inaugural HBCU Bowl and SWAC Conference Championship. For the past five years he has served as the defensive line coach for the ASU Hornets where he was responsible for developing game strategies, recruiting talent and academic monitoring.
