Inside Marlon Watson’s Gritty First Year at Fort Valley State: The Close Losses That Fueled an Unstoppable Comeback
In a recent interview on HBCU Gameday’s podcast, The SIAC Sitdown, Fort Valley State head coach Marlon Watson reflected on his first year at the helm of the Wildcats. While Fort Valley State ultimately finished 4-6 under the leadership of Watson, they found themselves competitive in several games against competitive Division II programs.
Per Watson, the team overachieved as he dealt with a rush to put together his coaching staff and facilitate his team heading into spring 2025.
“I didn’t get in until February 14th. I didn’t get the staff in till March. Eight days of spring ball, 20 guys in summer. And we had to stop fall ball for a couple days because of COVID. We all know the spring and the summer is where you build football teams.”
