Troutman, 35, is a former Bethune-Cookman quarterback who served as offensive coordinator at DeLand during the 2012 season. He replaces Smith, who stepped down as football coach in November.
“I am a former Seabreeze guy, and I coached with Kerry Cramer back in the mid-'90s when Pa'tell played for us,” Smith said. “I got to know him through that, and I followed him from there ever since. I thought he would be a good fit for the kids.”
Troutman, who did not coach in 2013, said he was happy to land his first head coaching job.
“I was excited, nervous and overwhelmed,” he said of his reaction to the news. “I just had to sit back and think about how my life got to this point.”
