Hello, my name is Derrick Whittington. I've been in north Alabama most of my life, so this area is my home! I graduated from Athens State University in 2022, where I was a member of the Men of Kennis. I have been on the east side of the county for the past four years, where I served as a football coach at Madison County High School, my alma mater. I will be coaching varsity and freshmen football here at Bob Jones, and I can't express how excited I am to be here!

I am a huge fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Boston Celtics, and Denver Broncos. I love dogs, music, art, sports, and food! I am extremely excited to be a part of the Patriot Family, and am ready for a great school year!
