Jason Candle Announced as a Keynote Speaker

We’re excited to announce that Jason Candle, recently named Head Football Coach at the University of Connecticut, will be one of the keynote speakers at this year’s Big New England Football Clinic. We are proud to help welcome him to New England.

Coach Candle arrives at UConn with a strong reputation as a program builder and his hiring marks an exciting new chapter for UConn football. He previously led Toledo to two MAC Championships and nine bowl appearances in his ten seasons leading the program.

Coach Candle has expressed enthusiasm about becoming part of the New England football community and helping build on UConn football’s recent success moving forward.

The Big New England Football Clinic provides a unique opportunity for Coach Candle to connect directly with coaches across New England, engaging with the local football community and contributing to the collaborative environment that defines the clinic.

The clinic’s mission has always been to bring high-level coaches and meaningful learning opportunities to the region, and adding Coach Candle to this year’s keynote lineup continues that tradition.

Additional keynote speakers, session details, and registration information will continue to be released weekly. We look forward to welcoming Coach Jason Candle and hosting another outstanding Big New England Football Clinic on March 6^th-7^th, 2026.
