ABOUT THE WILDCATS
Pearl River is entering year five under Smith’s guidance and looks to make a major improvement in 2024 — thanks in part to a new addition to the coaching staff. PRCC hired National Champion Offensive Coordinator David Boykin in the offseason to revitalize the Wildcat offense.
Defensively, PRCC has been solid each season during Smith’s tenure, which should stay the same in 2024. PRCC brings back numerous impact players, including cornerback Quandarius Keyes (Laurel). He has seen his recruitment explode in the offseason and holds offers from South Florida, Old Dominion, Memphis, Charlotte, Troy and Western Kentucky.
