Coach Jason Compton
My name is Jason Compton and I am the Defensive Coordinator at East Ridge High School in Clermont, FL. Prior to coming to East Ridge I was the Assistant Head Football Coach, Defensive Coordinator and Head Boy's and Girl's Weightlifting coach at Pine Ridge High School in Deltona, FL. During the course of my career, I've served multiple coordinator and strength and conditioning roles at various high schools. I was an Offensive Line and defensive line coach at Matanzas High School where I was a part of a staff that changed the culture of a perrenial 3-7 football team into a team that has had records of 8-2 and 7-3 the past two years and state playoff apperance. Prior to arriving at Matanzas I have served as the Varsity Defensive Line coach at Clay High School in Green Cove Springs, FL where we finished our season as a Class 5A State Finalist, Region 1 Champion, and District 4 Champion. Clay High School since that time has made the playoffs every year and has been to the State Final Four Two more times winning 3 district titles and 2 regional titles. I have had the opportunity to work with several great programs, a multitude of great players, coaches, and wonderful supporting staff. My goal is to bring a winning culture to a football program and to serve our student athletes developing them into well rounded young men.
Football is a vessel for great personal growth. It can inspire young men to reach beyond their expectations, it shows them the work ethic required to accomplish their goals, it teaches them how to work with others to carry out a mission much greater than themselves, and it instills the values of building great character that can last a lifetime.
There are not many professions out there that can have the range of lifetime positive impact that being a coach can provide. There aren’t many jobs that can provide all of these services that stretch virtually all cultures, socioeconomic statuses, races, and religions; while also building bonds that last a lifetime. As a coach I firmly believe in the motto “together everyone achieves more” and know what it takes to build successful football players and exceptional young men.
