A New Season, Same Spirit: Richie Leonard IV Returns to the Gridiron
Where: Cocoa High School, Saturday, July 12, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
After treating the local kids to a taste of Jawaan Taylor’s camp last week, the Sunshine State community is set for a second spin on the football scene with Richie Leonard IV. If you’re looking for a blend of skill‑building and Saturday‑soul‑food, you’ve got the right address.
Why Richie? – A Familiar Name in Fresh Hands
Richie, a 2020 Cocoa grad, was a top‑offensive‑liner before heading to the University of Florida, cracking a few four‑year blocks before transferring to Florida State as a grad‑transfer in 2024. He dominated the line for the Seminoles, seeing all but one game in the 2023 season before a setback in the fourth game. Now, he’s back for a final season—ready to rattle off plays and break down techniques for the next generation.
The Camp in a Nutshell
- All levels, 8‑16 year‑olds, 2‑hour session
- Hands‑on drills, skill‑sweeping, and scrimmages
- Learn from a current college standout and a local hero
- Open for free or a small fee (check the school’s website)
Last year’s first camp was already a hit, packed with hungry youngsters and a lot of laughs. It was a community shine‑on—hearts, tackle pads, and future futures all aligned.
Community Gains From Clemson‑Style Happenings
People from Viera Regional and beyond came through to witness the college‑level coaching in action. The message? Even the grittier moments of the game can feel like a celebration when you’re breaking down fundamentals.
