UCF alum Marquette Smith fills in at Trinity Prep
Former Lake Howell All-American and UCF running back Marquette Smith, a new assistant football coach for Trinity Prep, is directing the conclusion of spring practice for the Saints while head coach Drew Nemec takes a three-week medical leave.
"Drew is taking a short leave of absence to take care of some things. He will be back," Trinity Prep Athletic Director Kathy Finnucan said Tuesday.
Nemec missed games in the second half of Trinity Prep's 2006 season after suffering a stroke caused by a rare blood disorder.
