Levi Terry is the defensive coordinator and the linebacker coach of the Elkmont Red Devils. A native of Decatur, he was an outstanding linebacker at Austin High School. Terry continued his football career at the University of North Alabama. He played outside linebacker for the UNA Lions in 2001. His favorite memory of playing at North Alabama was being able to experience the atmosphere and excitement of being part of a college football team.
Coach Terry is married to Sunnee. He is curently teaching Physical Education and Health. He also is the assistant varsity baseball coach for the Elkmont Red Devils.
He is excited about this season and seeing how his experienced senior linebacker corp matches up to the teams on the Red Devils schedule. He had these thoughts about the Elkmont Red Devil Football team.
"As the defensive coordinator, my goal for the defense is for them to be able to adjust and adapt to any offense that lines up against them."
"As the linebacker coach, I want my linebackers to learn more about the game; to be able to read, evaluate and decide what changes they need to make on the field without me having to tell them. I believe that my linebackers will be able to do that this year. They will be coaches on the field, and help the entire defensive team adjust quickly to what they see on the field."
" My goal for the team is more than about wins and losses. I want them to learn life lessons; how to manage success and deal with disappointment; to use those experiences to motivate themselves to be better."
Coach Terry became reflective when asked about this senior class. He has worked with them for four years, seen them grow from boys into young men. He has been a stable influence for them as they have adjusted to three different head coaches. His thoughts on what he wants this class to take with them when they graduate from Elkmont High School is "to do whatever is necessary to succeed and don't give up when the going gets tough."
