DeMatha Catholic Football History:

DeMatha Football is a nationally renowned program filled with years of glorious history, championships and Stags later playing in college and the pros. The success of the program wouldn’t have been easy to predict when the school fielded its first football team in October 1949. The first teams were a competitive bunch led by Coach Jim Curran, a Notre Dame alumnus. But the best was yet to come for DeMatha football with Morgan Wootten (1956-68) and then Bill McGregor, who, beginning in 1982, coached the Stags to 17 conference championships.

After playing for McGregor, Elijah Brooks ’02 served as head coach from 2011-18 and continued that winning tradition by claiming four WCAC titles. McGregor returned in 2019 and three years later won his 300th career game. In 2004, he was named NFL High School Football Coach of the Year.

Virtually every season, 10 or more seniors receive college football scholarships, and the school is recognized each fall as having among the highest number of alumni who have played in the NFL. Recent players to earn Super Bowl rings include John Lovett ’14 (Kansas City Chiefs) and Rodney McLeod ’08 (Philadelphia Eagles). Chase Young ’17 was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. With Coach McGregor, a talented roster and outstanding assistant coaches, the future continues to look bright.
