For Coach Trevor Jackson, football is more than a game it’s a way of life. As the Defensive Coordinator for the Garden State Herd, Coach Jackson brings not only a sharp defensive mind but also a deep personal commitment to developing disciplined, focused, and resilient young men.

Coach Trev is a firm believer that the lessons learned on the field can shape a young man for life. His leadership extends far beyond the X’s and O’s he’s a mentor, a guide, and a consistent presence for every player in his program. “If you need me, I’ll always be here,” he says a message his players hear and feel every day.

Strategically, Coach Jackson leads the Herd’s defense with a 4-2-5 scheme, designed to maximize speed, adaptability, and aggressiveness. His system emphasizes versatility, discipline, and team first execution, preparing players to perform at a high level while learning to trust the man next to them.

His expectations are clear: give your all in the classroom, give your best on the field, and don’t take the opportunity for granted.

“As long as you leave it all in the classroom and give it your best on the football field, the sky is the limit,” says Coach Trev. “Don’t take an opportunity like this lightly.
