Starkville Yellow Jackets Head Coach Targeted by College Program
Starkville High School head coach, Jason Smith, is reportedly being pursued by the University of Alabama's coaching staff for a defensive coordinator position. Smith, who has led the Yellow Jackets since 2018, boasts a 45-15 record during his tenure, including a 2019 6A state championship. If Smith departs, Starkville would be left to find a replacement for a program that has consistently ranked among the top 10 in 6A Mississippi. The Yellow Jackets have been a recruiting hotbed under Smith's guidance, with several top prospects committing to the program in recent years. A loss of Smith's recruiting prowess would significantly impact Starkville's ability to attract top talent in the future.
