Head Football Coach Jarrail Jackson has been named the 2024 AFCA NAIA Region 5 Coach of the Year after leading the Steers to their most wins since the program was revived in 2003. In his third year at the helm for Texas College, the Steers finished the 2024 season with a record of 8-3, going undefeated at home (6-0). The announcement of Coach Jackson's selection was made earlier this week by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). As the 2024 AFCA NAIA Region 5 Coach of the Year, Coach Jackson is also a finalist for AFCA's NAIA National Coach of the Year.
The AFCA recognizes five regional Coach of the Year winners in each of the Association's five divisions: Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III, and NAIA. The winners are selected by active members of the Association who vote for coaches in their respective regions and divisions.
