For the second time this offseason, a Georgia high school has hired a new head football coach.

Camden County High School announced the hiring of Tucker Pruitt to fill the position left vacant when Jon Lindsey resigned after being named head coach less than two months prior.

According to SCORE Atlanta, Pruitt will depart from Appling County to take control of the Wildcats program after leading the Pirates to an 8-4 record this past season competing in Georgia high school football’s Class AA.

Pruitt also has made stops at Fitzgerald, where he led the Purple Wave to six semifinal and championship game appearances since 2018, including a Class AA state championship in 2021.

Camden County had handed the program over to Lindsey to replace Travis Roland, who they relieved of coaching duties following the 2025 season. Lindsey has served as a defensive coordinator under Jeff Herron, helping the Wildcats capture three state championships.

The school district said the decision by Lindsey to resign was a personal matter and they would not further elaborate.

Edwards led the Wildcats in quarterback sacks and quarterback hurries as a junior this past fall.
