The DeMarco Coaching Tree
During the past 25 years, Geno DeMarco and his staff have molded young men into not only outstanding college football players, but outstanding young men. Upon their graduation from Geneva College, a total of 135 former players have gone on to join the coaching ranks at either the high school or college level. The DeMarco coaching tree reaches far and wide and exemplifies what an incredible impact Geneva College football has had on an entire generation of young coaches.
