He is primarily responsible for developing and executing the Pirates’ offense, as well as recruiting the Tidewater, Philadelphia, and New Jersey areas. Prior to coming to Hampton, Ferebee spent five seasons as the head football coach at Lakeland High School in Suffolk. He was 24-29 during his tenure at Lakeland; prior to Ferebee’s arrival, the Cavaliers had not had a winning season since 2001. Under Ferebee, Lakeland finished above .500 three times. In 2011, Ferebee led Lakeland to the Group AAA state playoffs – a first for a Suffolk-based high school – and in 2012, the Cavaliers won their first Group AAA playoff game. Before his stint at Lakeland, Ferebee spent six years as an assistant coach at the high school level, working at five different schools in the Hampton Roads area. After starting his coaching career at Princess Anne High in Virginia Beach, Ferebee also coached at Virginia Beach rivals Salem and Green Run (the latter being his high school alma mater). From there, Ferebee was an assistant coach at I.C. Norcom in Portsmouth and Booker T. Washington in Norfolk. Ferebee was a quarterback and wide receiver at Liberty University from 1995-99, and he graduated from Liberty in 1999 with a degree in multi-disciplinary studies. Ferebee is a native of Virginia Beach, Va. and a graduate of Green Run High School. He has one son, Glenwood II (5). Michael Vilagrana special teams cordinator Michael Villagrana is entering his fifth year with the Hampton University football program, and his third as special teams coordinator. He is in charge of overseeing all aspects of the Pirates’ special teams unit, and he is also now the program’s recruiting coordinator. In addition to his on-field duties, Villagrana is also in charge of the team’s walk-ons. Villagrana oversaw a Pirates special teams unit that led the MEAC in punting last season, thanks to Second Team All-MEAC selection Jordan Stovall. Hampton special teams also resulted in eight made field goals in 2012 (in 11 tries), and kicker Taurean Durham was a perfect 23-for-23 in PATs. Hampton also led the MEAC in kickoff returns, averaging 24.9 yards per return, and third in the conference in kickoff coverage. A five-year player on the West Virginia University football team, Villagrana won the Gridiron Award in 2008 while earning a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts and sciences. Villagrana then spent a year as a graduate assistant with the Mountaineers, while pursuing a Masters in athletic coaching education. Villagrana was an offensive graduate assistant for the Pirates in 2009. Villagrana is a native of Youngstown, Ohio. hamptonpirates.com 2013 Hampton Football 47
