Earnest Graham Tabled as Alachua Santa Fe – Sports Illustrated’s Chief Football Trainer

One of the best runners at Florida University, coming out of Gainsville, returns to manage his own football program for high school again.

According to Noah Ram on Gainesville Sun through X, Graham is hired as the next Alachua Santa Fe football coach. Last season, Graham trained at Gainsvil High School as an assistant.

During his time with Gators, Graham qualified for the third time in all time in a touch of back on his back with 33 and rushed for 3,065 yards to 603 wears.

Graham played mostly his entire career at NFL with Buccaneers Tampa Bay, rushing for 2 047 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns for eight seasons.

This is not the first time Graham has been the main coach of the high school level, as he previously led North Fort Myers (2014-2018) and the Evangelical Christian (2019-2021). During his time with the red knights, Graham went 25-14, and with the Sentinels ended with a record of 10-21 to three seasons.

Overall, Graham has been 35-35 for eight seasons as a leader in high school.

The former NFL, who goes back, takes on a Raiders program, which went 1-9 in 2024 and will be charged to try to turn a team that has won two games in the last three years.
