Justin Conyers recently became the new head coach of Green Run High School in Virginia Beach. While serving as defensive coordinator at Nansemund Suffolk Academy last fall, the school became a Virginia State Champion. Coach Conyers converted the college 4-2-5 defense, with many of the principles coming from both TCU and Virginia Tech, into an efficient high school defense. In this DVD, the third of a five-set series, Coach Conyers explains his school’s zone and man blitzing techniques and concepts.
