GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Grambling State head football coach Broderick Fobbs strengthened his program’s ties to the biggest recruiting bed in Louisiana with the newest addition to his staff.
Del Lee-Collins, most recently a head high school football coach in New Orleans, has joined GSU’s assistant coaching staff as cornerbacks coach, Fobbs confirmed to The News-Star Thursday. This is the first coaching hire Fobbs has made this offseason.
Lee-Collins spent the last two years coaching at John Ehret High School, last season as interim head coach, and has coached a combined 10 years in the greater New Orleans area at St. Augustine, Sophie B. Walker and Landry-Walker. John Ehret went 9-4 and advanced to the LHSAA Class 5A playoffs in 2017 under Lee-Collins’ guidance, where it lost, 38-0, in the second round to eventual state champion Zachary.
At St. Augustine from 2007 to 2009, he coached current Arizona Cardinal Tyrann Mathieu.
A 1998 McNeese State graduate, Lee-Collins played cornerback for four years for the Cowboys before going on to play professionally for five total years with the New York Jets and the Arena League’s Toronto Phantoms. He jumpstarted his coaching career at his alma mater in 2004.
