The two-time defending NJSIAA state champion Winslow Eagles’ football program has a new leader.
The Winslow board approved Jamal White as its next coach at its monthly meeting this week. White is known as an offensive guru, having served as an offensive coordinator at Timber Creek and, most recently, at Woodbury.
“Oh man, this it’s amazing,” White said. “This is definitely something I have been looking forward to for a long time now. For it to come up now and be in this position, especially at this place, is truly amazing. It is truly exciting. I mean, it is a lot, but it is great right now.”
White is a Triton High School graduate who went on to have a Towson University Hall-of-Fame career as a wide receiver. As an offensive coordinator, White contributed to three sectional titles at Timber Creek and three more, plus a true state title, in the same role at Woodbury.
White is a middle school special education teacher in Williamstown.
“I’ve been blessed to coach under some really good coaches like Rob Hinson and Anthony Reagan,” White said. “Continuing in the craft that those guys excelled at, learning the establishment of the same discipline and the culture and the love that they’ve shown for their players. Getting them into college and really showing them just true mentorship and true manly love. I’m excited about being able to now take some of the things they’ve taught me and implementing some of their ways and some of my own ways as well.”
The two-time Group 4 state champion Eagles finished 12-2 last season after an undefeated run in 2024. Former coach Bill Belton has since stepped down and accepted the same position at St., Augustine.
“I look forward to having an opportunity to address all the members of the team,” White said. “A lot of guys are doing other sports, which I completely encourage, and hope they continue to do. I got a chance to address a good nucleus of the team. We are still in the process of setting up one evening where I can meet with all the parents and address the guys that are thinking about coming out and be a part of this program that we want to continue to take to the next level.”
In White’s first head coaching position, he will be charged with maintaining a culture that builds winning football teams and productive members of the community.
“The biggest thing I’m looking forward to producing young men,” White said. “Getting them into college, and having them become valuable people in the community, not just football players. I look forward to developing like boys to become young men, and develop a good foundation with that.”
