Head Coach Jordan Clark
"What a huge honor to receive this award. We are so proud of the work Max Wadsworth has done with our field. The amount of time and attention to detail is truly one of a kind. Without him this award wouldn't have been possible. This past season was the best the dirt has played in my time at FAU. It truly is a home field advantage when you have great people working behind the scenes. This award proves when you invest into making things great big things can happen."
