Synopsis

A young college football coach is sent to rural Alabama to try and sign the nation's top high school defensive end and soon finds himself trying to outflank rival recruiters and win over the player's wildly dysfunctional family.

Moviegoers are saying

This Georgia-grown indie sports dramedy defies expectations with its surprisingly dark take on college football recruiting, earning praise for Rob Morgan's standout performance and genuine heart despite a rocky first impression. Audiences report genuine laughter in theaters and unexpected emotional depth beneath what initially appears to be a formulaic sports story.

❤️ wholesome football films, warm happy tears all the way to the endzone ✝️🇺🇸🏈 Rob Morgan nailed it here but all the side characters are on it as well. It may seem formulaic in the first half, but it's dark and makes interesting choices around the recruiting aspect,…
