JACKSONVILLE, Texas (TXAN 24) — Jacksonville Independent School District has named Montey Stevenson as its new Athletic Director and Head Football Coach. Stevenson, who most recently served as Assistant Coach and Defensive Coordinator at Alvarado High School, steps into a role that carries both high expectations and significant challenges.
While Stevenson brings defensive expertise and years of coaching experience, his hiring signals a shift for Jacksonville, as he does not have direct ties to the community.
In a town where tradition and relationships often play a key role in building a successful program, he will need to work quickly to earn the trust of players, alumni, and fans who take great pride in Jacksonville football.
For Stevenson, the immediate challenge will be establishing his culture and identity within the program. Jacksonville football has long been a cornerstone of the community, and support from players, parents, and local fans will be crucial to his success.
While winning games is the quickest way to earn buy-in, building relationships may prove just as important in the early stages of his tenure.
With spring workouts on the horizon, Stevenson will now begin assembling his staff, evaluating his roster, and preparing for his first season at the helm.
Whether he can overcome the challenges of stepping into a new environment remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Jacksonville football is entering a new chapter, and all eyes will be on how it unfolds.
