THE KAY EFFECT: Former North Shore Coach Talks New Gig, Changing Landscape In College Football
When you think of North Shore High School, the names most synonomous with the nationally-recorgnized program are coach David Aymond and coach Jon Kay.
David Aymond built a powerhouse on Houston’s east side from the ground up, leading the Mustangs to a state title in 2003. After an illustrious career, he handed the reins to his longtime associate head coach and defensive coordinator, Jon Kay, who had studied the art of high school football under his mentor.
Kay didn’t just continue the legacy—he elevated it. Under his leadership, North Shore became a national powerhouse, winning four state championships.
Then came the move that shook the Texas football landscape—Kay accepted a linebackers coaching position at Rice University under head coach Mike Bloomgren. But as fate would have it, Bloomgren was let go, and the Owls brought in new head coach Scott Abell, who quickly promoted Kay to defensive coordinator.
VYPE’s Chief Content Officer, Matt Malatesta, sat down with Jon Kay inside the VYPE studios to discuss Texas high school and college football, his journey from Michigan to Texas, and his thoughts on the ever-changing landscape of the transfer portal and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL).
