When they look up Ciatrick Fason, they will be impressed.

Fason has been the head coach at Fletcher High School for three years now. Many people in Northeast Florida still remember him as a dynamic player at Fletcher and for the Florida Gators.

His nickname “C-4″ was born because of his explosiveness. He was, by some publications, the number-one running back coming out of high school in the early 2000′s.
