With his experience in a variety of roles at the NAIA level, he’s going to help our program progress across the board. On top of that, his ability to recruit and develop players is as good as anyone I’ve known in the business.”

    As a student-athlete, Valentine first played for Kemper Military Junior College in 1997. The team finished 10-2 and was ranked seventh in the NJCAA.

    He then went on to play and start at the University of Missouri before moving on to Henderson State in 1999. Valentine played his final two seasons at Central Missouri State in 2000 and 2001.
