NPGAA Welcomes the Ex Prep Post Grad Football Program

The National Post Grad Athletic Association (NPGAA) is thrilled to announce the addition of the Ex Prep Post Grad Football Program to its growing ranks! We are confident that Ex Prep will be a valuable asset to our league, bringing a high level of competition and dedication to player development.

At the helm of the Lions is Head Coach and General Manager Adam Hill, a seasoned veteran with an impressive 25 years of experience as a Head Coach, Coordinator, and Offensive Line Coach. Coach Hill's extensive background includes time spent in the NFL as a training camp assistant and a participant in community relations staffs focusing on youth development programs for two separate NFL organizations. He also boasts experience as an Assistant Offensive Line coach for the Tampa Bay Vipers of the XFL and served as Offensive Quality Control and Assistant Offensive Line Coach for the five-time world champion Tampa Bay Storm of the AFL. Notably, Coach Hill has contributed to multiple colleges and universities as a Coordinator, Strength Coach, and Position Coach.

The Lions are building a program destined for success not only with Coach Hill at the helm, but with an experienced and talented coaching staff surrounding him. Defensive Coordinator Paul Smith, Assistant Offensive Coordinator Rickey Runion, and Recruiting Coordinator/Tight Ends Coach Wes Hill each bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Combined, the Lions' staff boasts over 80 years of collegiate and professional coaching experience!

Even in their inaugural season, the Lions are showing their strength with an extremely talented roster of 25 players and plans to expand to 50. Their schedule will feature a mix of contests primarily against Division II and III school sub-varsity squads, along with a home and home series against both Hocking Junior College and fellow NPGAA member Cincinnati United.

While the Lions will spend much of their inaugural season touring college campuses as part of their placement strategy, they are working to secure a deal to host games at the prestigious Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, WV, the home of the Marshall University Thundering Herd. Further demonstrating their commitment to excellence, the Lions are set to open a state-of-the-art 60,000 sq ft indoor facility in late August. The Chatterton Black Ex Dome will house their weight room facilities and 50 yards of turf, and will also serve as the home of the Lions' vaunted basketball program.

The NPGAA is excited to see the Ex Prep Post Grad Football Program in action and welcomes them wholeheartedly to the league! We look forward to a successful and competitive inaugural season.
