Longtime USF staff member to move into new role
TAMPA, FEB. 29, 2024 – South Florida Football Head Coach Alex Golesh has announced that longtime USF football staff member Albert Boone has moved into the role of director of football relations with additional duties as assistant director of player development.
Boone will enter his ninth season with the USF football program in 2024, having served under four head coaches and in multiple roles from recruiting and player personnel to operations.
“Albert has been a tremendous asset to the USF football program for many years and has built incredibly strong relationships with hundreds of players, staff, alumni, donors and many others around our program,” Golesh said. “I am excited to have Albert assume this new role as we continue to strengthen our connection with our former players and elevate our relationships and engagement throughout our USF football community.”
In his new role, Boone will direct outreach, engagement and a year-round slate of events aimed at connecting former USF players to the current Bulls players, staff and program. Keeping former players informed on the happenings in the current program, conducting regular events around games and other opportunities throughout the year and providing a consistent and direct personal point of contact will be among his key duties.
Boone will also work closely with Director of Player Development Jeff Jones in fostering the development of current Bulls and their growth in community and campus engagement, leadership, and off-the-field skill sets necessary for success in life after their time at USF.
The Bulls will hold the first of 15 spring practices on Tues., March 5, and will have two practices before the University’s Spring Break (March 10-16). Following Spring Break, USF will return for four weeks of practices leading up to the annual Spring Game, which will return to Corbett Stadium on the USF campus on Sat., April 13.
