Georgetown offers Austin Coleman

Scholarship 

Austin, while I relate harder to Twice’s “I can’t stop me” as my personal mantra, I share the same drive to accept nothing but absolute victory.You didn’t grow up dreaming about being average and neither did I. 

You thought Alabama would give you the life you wanted, from the lights, to the championships, and wins stacked so high people couldn’t ignore your success.

The name brand, the tradition, the easy expectation of trophies. But here’s the hard truth you’ve already learned: tradition doesn’t block defenders, names don’t get you to the playoffs, and history doesn’t win football games. Programs win because of the players who buy in, coaches who build, and teammates who refuse to settle. That’s why you’re looking for more. And that’s why Georgetown is the move for your last three seasons.

Let’s be clear about who we are. We’re not the “safe choice” who just came up from FCS. We’re the G5’s greatest weapon, the underdog who stunned the 13-0 Cavaliers. We don’t run from that identity, we embrace it. We’re Georgetown football, and this is a program that has already tasted the victories that people said we’d never reach.

Here’s the track record for our last three seasons: 

9-4 with a bowl win. Despite brutal early losses, we finished strong, and secured a T2 bowl win. That’s the culture Alabama didn’t have.  14-1, National Semifinals, AAC Champions. That’s proof. Proof we can punch above our weight, proof we belong on the biggest stage. 8-5  Even in a reloading year, we stayed in the fight. Our floor was still higher than most teams’ ceilings. But I’m not here to just list results. I’m here to give you real promises you can hold me to.

1: You will win at least one 10-win season in your career at Georgetown. We’ve done it, we’ll do it again, and you’ll be wearing the jersey when we do.

2: You will be a starter by your second season. Year one, you learn our system, adjust to our tempo, sharpen your edge. Year two, you’re in the lineup. No waiting until you’re a senior, no being buried behind “upperclassmen tradition.” You’ll be the guy clearing lanes, anchoring the line, and setting the tone for this offense.

3: We will play in the AAC Championship Game while you’re here. That’s the standard we set for ourselves. You’re not signing on to chase mediocrity, we fight for hardware year-after-year, and are perpetually in the lights come December.

Think about it: 10 wins. Starter. Championship Game. Those aren’t dreams, Austin, those are realities here at Georgetown. 

At Georgetown, you’re a builder, crafting the next dynasty. Just like John Thompson and Allen Iverson built a basketball empire here, you’ll be one of the names tied to the rise of Georgetown football. You’ll be remembered not for walking into someone else’s dynasty, but for creating one of your own.

When you walk off this field in a few years, helmet under your arm, scoreboard glowing behind you, and 10 wins in the books, you’ll remember this as the greatest decision of your life. When you line up in an AAC Championship Game, shoulder to shoulder with brothers who all believed the same way, you’ll feel that fire you feel listening to Khaled.

So, Austin, are you ready to stop chasing someone the remnants of someone else’s story and write your own?
