Florida high school football head coach suspended from coaching by FHSAA

The NIL negotiating deal is a violation of state law, county district policy, and Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Bylaw 9.9, following a July 2025 complaint. FHSAA Executive Director Craig Damon had previously confirmed with Rivals that there was an investigation looking into the violation.

FHSAA NIL Prohibition (Bylaw 9.9)

No school employee, athletic staff member, or representative of a school’s athletic interests (boosters) may engage in NIL representation.

Clavijo has seen plenty of success when it comes to coaching Florida high school football as he led Champagnat Catholic (Fla.) to FHSAA state championships in 2017, 2019, and 2020. Since taking on the Santaluces job back in December of 2021, Clavijo has compiled an overall record of 30-14 over the course of four seasons at the helm.

Santaluces Community finished last season with a 6-4 record and ranked as the No. 180, according to the final 2025 Florida High School Football Massey Rankings.
