One of America's top high school football programs has turned to a 27-year old alum to be its new head football coach.

DeMatha has named 2002 grad Elijah Brooks as the replacement for long-time coach Bill McGregor, who resigned earlier this year after 29-years in-charge of the Stags.

Brooks, who played running back for DeMatha, has been a member of McGregor's staff since the fall of 2007 after graduating from William & Mary.

McGregor, who resigned March 28th, led DeMatha to a record of 278-40-3 in his tenure as head coach.  More than 350 of McGregor's players received Division I or I-AA scholarships.

McGregor was a guest on my NHSCA Sports Hour on April 3rd.
