How he found Prep: In February, Todd was hired to become the second head football coach in Augusta Prep history, replacing Harry Bacheller. Todd previously served as head coach at Hephzibah and Harlem.
"When I got the job, I started having Saturday morning workouts with the players to get to know them. After the first workout I knew we had some special young men with great work ethics and high character. In May, we were able to do a week of Spring Practice and now we are in our summer phase of practice.
"It is a pleasure to lead this program and I am blessed to have such great young men and assistant coaches."
