TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Throughout the late 1990s, Alex Jackson and Willie Simmons were the talk of the town across the Big Bend.
The star offensive lineman and quarterback made headlines on a weekly basis mowing down the opposition at Shanks High School in Quincy.
Since graduation, the two went their separate ways to compete on the collegiate level.
While their athletic journeys took them down different paths, they remained in close contact with each other.
Their bond evolved from a personal to a working relationship when they paired on the sideline at Prairie View A&M in 2015. Simmons led as head coach with Jackson as offensive coordinator.
This united front has returned in the region of which it was forged, the Big Bend, to bring a Quincy vibe to Tallahassee.
In 2018, Jackson will sport the headset as offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Florida A&M.
