🏈 CCS FOOTBALL BEGINS: WELCOME COACH MO THOMPSON!
CCS is pleased to announce Coach Mo Thompson as the first coaching hire in our Football program history. Thompson is a Certified Speed, Agility, and Quickness Specialist, has coached at the middle and high school levels, and will serve as the team’s Speed and Agility Coach.
A standout at Lebanon High School, he played at East Mississippi Community College and the University of West Alabama before continuing his career professionally with the Birmingham Stallions, Norfolk Nighthawks, and Augusta Stallions.
This comes shortly after CCS announced a new partnership with APSU that will make Fortera Stadium available for Centurion home football games beginning in Fall 2027. With a home field secured and the hiring of our staff underway, the countdown is becoming very real.
CCS President Dr. Brad Moser said Thompson’s hiring marks an important step in building the program. “This is the first of a series of coaching hires we’re excited to announce as we begin putting the architecture of CCS football in place. We have lots of work to do between now and Fall 2027, and we want to do it the right way. That means building the right culture and establishing a strong foundation before we ever step onto the field. Coach Thompson is an important part of that foundation, and we’re excited to have him join the Centurion family.”
For nearly a decade, Thompson has worked with young athletes through On Top Athletics, specializing in speed, agility, quickness training, character building, collegiate preparation, and athlete exposure. His athletes include players who have gone on to Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, UCLA, Arkansas State, and the NFL.
“We want to make sure our young men are physically and mentally prepared to compete when we take the field,” said CCS Athletic Director Jason Shelton. “Coach Thompson gives us an outstanding opportunity to begin that process now. We’ll pair his speed and agility work with intentional strength training as we build our athletes and program from the ground up.”
Faith is a central aspect of Coach Thompson’s life. He and his wife live in Clarksville and are CCS parents, and he serves as a deacon at Trenton Crossing Church of Christ.
Please join us in welcoming Coach Thompson to the CCS team!!!
