AFCA Names Collins to its 2023 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute Class
The AFCA announced today the selections for its 2023 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute and University of Minnesota safeties coach Danny Collins was named a member of this year's class.
The AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute is a prestigious program aimed at identifying and developing premier, future leaders in the football coaching profession. This year's class was chosen from a field of more than 150 applicants and selected participants are invited to attend the one-day institute that features a curriculum of interactive lectures focused on topics specifically tailored to emphasize leadership in the coaching profession, ethics, influential responsibilities, career progression, and family balance.
Collins, who has been with Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck since his days at Western Michigan, is in his first year coaching the safeties for the Gophers. He mentored All-Big Ten selections Tyler Nubin (Second Team) and Jordan Howden (Honorable Mention) this season and oversaw a young group that helped Minnesota field the No. 4 scoring defense and No. 5 total defense in the nation.
To be eligible, applicants had to be born on or after January 1, 1988, and must be currently serving as a high school head coach, two-year college full-time assistant or head coach, or NAIA/NCAA (all divisions) full-time assistant or head coach. Applicants were required to submit a resume, five references, and a 1,600-word article or five-minute live instructional video on an offensive, defensive, special teams, or position-specific topic of the applicant's choosing this past summer.
Members of the 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute receive a stipend to assist with expenses incurred while attending the AFCA Convention. They will be published in AFCA Magazine, AFCA Insider weekly email blast, and/or have their articles and videos added to the AFCA Educational Library. Additionally, participants will be placed on the AFCA Foundation Committee and become a part of a prestigious network of rising coaches in the profession along with many other great benefits.
Go Gophers!!
