Ryan Mallett



PEARCY, Ark. – It wasn’t hard figuring out which Mountain Home football coach was Ryan Mallett Friday night at Lake Hamilton High School.

Ryan Mallett was born on the 5th of June, 1988. He is best known for being a Football Player. He backed up Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in New England from 2011 to 2013. Ryan Mallett’s age is 32. Ryan Mallett signed a 1 year, $2,000,000 contract with the Baltimore Ravens, including a $1,000,000 signing bonus, $1,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $2,000,000. Ryan Mallett will always take great pride in the fact his football career kick-started in 2003 as a freshman in high school at Texas Stadium, former home of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s still a fierce competitor as a coach, taking Friday’s loss to Lake Hamilton hard.

Standing 6-6 near the Bombers’ head coach Steve Ary (5-7), Mallett was an easy target for a pregame interview.

In case you don’t know Mallett, he enjoyed a brilliant schoolboy career at Texas High. He earned a scholarship to the University of Michigan, transferred to the University of Arkansas, where he played himself into the NFL. Mallett was a third round (74th overall pick) selection by the New England Patriots in 2006, where he played behind Tom Brady.

“The relationships I made is what I’ll remember about my NFL career; that’s the biggest thing,” said the 32-year-old Mallett. “I met a lot of great people. If I had not played in the NFL, I would have never got a chance to meet them. I still stay in touch with a lot of those folks.”

It’s not difficult figuring how Mallett ended up at Mountain Home. The most obvious reason is his bride Tiffany.

“Just got married a couple of months ago,” he said. “Mountain Home is close to where Tiffany and her family lives. It was kind of a no-brainer for us. We’re building a house on the river, and just enjoying everything. The area also has a lot of good hunting and fishing.”

Football has left Mallett with a ton of great memories. He hasn’t forgotten meeting Will Middlebrooks in the sixth grade, and both ending up in Boston playing professional football and baseball, respectively.

His most memorable high school football game was being thrown into the fire as a freshman in the state quarterfinals at Texas Stadium. Mallett passed for more than 200 yards that day, but lost the game. He passed for more than 8,000 yards and 72 touchdowns as a Tiger, earning the Gatorade Player of the Year Award in 2006. Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida State, Nebraska and Texas were all knocking at his door.

“Guess my best moments in college came my senior year in the LSU game, and then playing Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl,” said Mallett. His collegiate numbers surpassed those he piled up in high school. He passed for more than 9,000 yards and 76 touchdowns.

Tiger star was third round pick in draft

Playing behind Brady in the NFL didn’t allow him many opportunities to play as a Patriot. After two seasons he moved on to the Houston Texans (2014-15), followed by three year as a Baltimore Raven. He had eight NFL starts, finishing with 1,835 passing yards and nine touchdowns.

After seven seasons in the NFL, Mallett figured it was time to experience his lifetime dream of coaching.

“Right now I’m helping with special teams, receivers and the offensive line,” said Mallett. “My dad is a coach, and it’s what I’ve always wanted to be. It’s something I’ve kind of been waiting for.”

Mallett remains a die-hard Razorback supporter to this day. Like other Arkansas fans, the last couple of years have been hard to accept.

“I really never wanted to leave Michigan; that’s where I learned a lot about myself,” he said. “There was a coaching change, and the situation was great for me. We had a bunch of guys at Arkansas who wanted t change the culture. We all got together and decided that’s what we were going to do. I don’t know what happen in Fayetteville. That’s above my pay grade. I’m just ready for the Hogs to get back on top, and making us proud.”

Ryan Mallett will always take great pride in the fact his football career kick-started in 2003 as a freshman in high school at Texas Stadium, former home of the Dallas Cowboys.
