Legendary Alvin Wyatt Sr. To Participate in Coin Toss Saturday

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman legend Alvin B. Wyatt Sr. will take in pre-game ceremonies for Saturday's homecoming game against Alabama State at 4 p.m. at Daytona Stadium.

The former All-American football player and all-time leader in coaching victories for both football and women's basketball will handle the coin toss.

In 1969, Wyatt was named Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a defensive back and return specialist. He capped off that phenomenal season by being named as an All-American.

He still holds B-CU records for single game interceptions (5), career interceptions (34) and career punt return average (25.6). After concluding his college career in 1970, he was a sixth-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders and thrilled crowds in Oakland and Buffalo during his NFL career, as well as the Jacksonville Sharks of the World Football League.

After retiring from his professional playing career, Wyatt joined the B-CU football staff, serving a long stint as defensive coordinator for both Larry Little and Jack "Cy" McClairen, and would become the winningest head football coach (90 wins) and head women's basketball coach (245) in school history. One of the only coaches to be named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in Football and Women's Basketball, Wyatt led the Wildcat football team to the 2002 MEAC football championships and a pair of NCAA postseason appearances, as well as the 1998 Heritage Bowl.

He also led the women's basketball team to titles crowns in the Florida Intercollegiate Association  for Women and the MEAC during his career as coach.
