“Some of the best plays happen off the field.” Iconic Events & Southern Isles Pictures have debuted the first official trailer for a film titled Signing Tony Raymond, a football movie but this time about the coach’s recruiting job. This story reminds me of Brad Pitt’s Moneyball, about how to build a winning team finding the right people. A young college football coach (armed with a lucrative NIL offer) is sent to rural Alabama to sign the nation’s top high school defensive end and soon finds himself trying to outflank a frenzy of rival recruiters, fight off grifting townsfolk galore, and somehow also win over the player’s wildly dysfunctional family. Inspired by a true story. “Owen’s perspective brings a rare mix of insight and humor to the realities of college football today.” Starring Michael Mosley as Coach Walt McFadden, with Mira Sorvino & Rob Morgan, featuring football legends Marshawn Lynch, Brian Bosworth and Champ Bailey. This looks like a kooky comedy about the eccentricities of small town American more than a mainstream sports movie.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Glen Owen’s film Signing Tony Raymond, direct from YouTube:
Set in the Deep South, the film follows Coach Walt McFadden (Michael Mosley), a talented but idealistic assistant coach at Louisiana University who’s out of second chances. After failing to land a top recruit the previous year, Coach Walt is given one last shot at redemption: signing the nation’s number one defensive end, Tony Raymond — or losing his job. His pursuit takes him deep into the backwoods of Alabama, where he discovers that money, not talent, often determines who wins. Signing Tony Raymond is directed by American filmmaker Glen Owen (a University of Georgia basketball alum), director of the film Stalked Within previously, plus the “Gillian in Georgia” series and sports doc “Comeback: A March Madness Story” on TV. Produced by John Thomas, Kristy Clabaugh, Don Mandrik, and Glen Owen. The film just premiered at the 2025 Austin Film Festival this month. Iconic will debut Glen Owen’s Signing Tony Raymond film in theaters starting sometime in early 2026. Stay tuned for the exact release date next year. Anyone into this?
