USA Academy hires Rush Propst for inaugural football season

The rumors surrounding Rush Propst’s return to the state of Alabama were confirmed Thursday morning. Ultimate Student Athlete (USA) Academy, a new prep school to be located in Coosada, held a press conference Thursday morning to introduce Propst as the head coach of the football team which is slated to start play this fall.

USA Academy founder Dustin DeVaughn said the school is set to start enrolling students Friday and classes will begin Jan. 20. The football program is already in the process of reviewing applicants and getting students from across the country into temporary living spaces. Propst said he hopes to start the team’s strength and conditioning program in April.
