North Crowley head coach Ray Gates is resigning to accept a job as the defensive line coach at North Texas, a person with knowledge of the move confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.

Gates was widely seen as one of Texas high school football’s fastest rising stars, leading North Crowley to a 42-2 record and the 2024 Class 6A Division I state championship in three seasons. This season, North Crowley (12-2) lost to Allen in the regional final round of the playoffs.

At North Texas, Gates will reunite with a former starting quarterback, Chris Jimerson, who played for North Crowley’s 2024 state championship team.
