The Ocoee High football team announced four new additions to its coaching staff for the 2025 season, three offensive assistants — including a new offensive coordinator — and a new coach on the defensive side of the ball. 

Former Apopka High varsity football assistant coach, freshman team head coach and recruiting coordinator Jett Davison has been tapped as the Knights’ next offensive coordinator. 

“With a deep understanding of the game and a passion for mentoring young athletes, Coach Jett brings a wealth of experience to our football program,” said Ocoee head coach Buck Gurley in an Instagram post announcing the hire. “His commitment to supporting our youth through the sport of football is truly inspiring, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have on our players both on and off the field.”

Joining Davison’s offensive staff is Bryce Belanger, who is being elevated from junior varsity offensive coordinator to varsity quarterbacks coach, and Phil Agard, who returns to Ocoee as its new wide receivers coach following a season as running backs coach at Lake Minneola High. 

On defense, the Knights have added Richard Belanger, a veteran coach of more than 20 years, as the new linebackers coach.
