🙏🏾

Anthony Jolly’s love for football didn’t stop after high school — he carried it on at Iowa Western and later took the field for the Des Moines Blaze, continuing to chase the game he loves. 💙

Today, we continue his legacy by supporting and uplifting youth athletes as they chase their own dreams, inspired by his passion for the game. 🏈

Physical talent gets you on the field — football IQ keeps you there, IQ creates anticipation, anticipation creates big plays.

One of the comments from high school and college coaches we hear most often is the athlete’s lack of awareness/understanding of the game in general, tendencies/patterns, and how to anticipate to make big plays.

Apex Academy Chalk Talk sessions teach athletes how to see the game, understand concepts, recognize defenses, study film properly, and anticipate plays before they happen.

This is where speed meets intelligence.
Train your body. Train your mind. Play faster. Make big plays.

Whether its a film/video or whiteboard session, Chalk Talk is another offering within our off-season development programs for all positions.

Next up on our 2025 College Gridiron Showcase Scouting Staff:

We’re excited to have Tyrone Tyler returning to the team. Tyrone will be leading our scouting efforts across Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Arkansas — identifying top talent and helping build out our 2025 watchlist in these key regions.

In addition to his scouting responsibilities, Coach Ty plays a vital role on the field as one of our wide receivers coaches during the CGS All-Star event. His energy, experience, and ability to develop players make him a tremendous asset to both the athletes and the overall CGS process.
