Eufaula has turned to one of its own in Jerrel Jernigan to lead its football program.
Jernigan was named head football coach on Tuesday night, replacing Ed Rigby, who left in May to become the new head coach at Pike Road.
As a wide receiver at Troy, Jernigan compiled 5,985 all-purpose yards over his career and at the time he was one of just three Sun Belt players to ever eclipse the 5,000-yard mark. While at Troy, Jernigan saw action in four different positions – quarterback, wide receiver, punt returner and kick returner. Jernigan won four Sun Belt Conference titles as a member of the Trojans and helped lead Troy to four bowl appearances.
