Jacksonville High School placed on probation, football coaches suspended after recruiting violations<\/p>\n

\"RileyJACKSONVILLE, Ala. \u2014<\/p>\n

Jacksonville High School has been fined and placed on probation after being found in violation of the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s recruiting rules.<\/p>\n

The AHSAA said the school violated Rule VI, Administration, Section 12, Recruiting, as outlined in the 2026-2027 AHSAA Handbook.<\/p>\n

As part of the penalties, any students found to have violated the rule will be permanently ineligible to participate in athletics at Jacksonville High School.<\/p>\n

The AHSAA also suspended head football coach Jeremy Sullivan and assistant coach Phileepae Holloway from coaching in the association for one year.<\/p>\n

The school’s varsity football program has been placed on restrictive probation for the 2026 season. The team will be allowed to play its 10-game regular-season schedule but will not be eligible for postseason competition.<\/p>\n

Because Jacksonville High School is ineligible for championship play, games against the school will not count in the Class 4A, Region 6 standings or in any tiebreakers.<\/p>\n

The AHSAA also ordered the school’s varsity football team to forfeit all victories in games in which the ineligible students participated.<\/p>\n
