Alcovy High School’s football program is gearing up for the 2026‑27 season, entering a new era marked by fresh leadership and upgraded facilities.
A Philosophy Built on Character
Head coach Diego Dixon emphasizes comradeship, leadership and mental toughness, insisting that the Tigers must maintain high character while striving for daily success on the field.
The coaching staff has fully embraced Dixon’s approach, creating an environment where players are encouraged to lead by example and support one another.
At the heart of the offense, sophomore Jeremy "Coop" Cain is slated to start at quarterback, bringing a blend of footwork, arm strength and playmaking ability that excites the coaching staff.
Cain’s twin brother, Jeremiah Cain, will anchor the front seven as a key linebacker, adding depth and versatility to a defense that already features playmakers such as Carlos Sing and Jaylen Randon.
Veteran linebacker Trey Bryant is expected to provide depth and experience on the defensive front, complementing the younger talent.
The team has a month of preparation ahead after a July dead week, using the time to refine schemes and build chemistry before the season kicks off.
Dixon’s ultimate goal is to elevate Alcovy into one of the top 6A programs in the state, a target that reflects both ambition and the belief that steady progress will translate into wins.
