Just after his senior year of college, current Detroit Southeastern head coach Courtney Dinkins found himself spending the summer as a volunteer assistant for the high school football team his father coached. “That summer, the coaching bug hit me,” Dinkins said. “The game of football was the only way to pay for my education,” said Dinkins, who earned a degree in sociology from Louisville. This game just means so much to me.”Even in a COVID-shortened season, Dinkins’ Detroit Southeastern Jungaleers had an impressive year. Dinkins’ success on the field came with recognition off of it, as he was voted ‘Favorite Football Coach’ in 4Frenzy’s Fan Choice Awards.
