Well-known high school football coach Rush Propst has been placed on administrative leave by Valdosta City Schools only days after an audio recording surfaced with comments he allegedly made.

In a statement from Valdosta City Schools to the Valdosta Daily Times, Superintendent Dr. William “Todd” Cason said, “I am aware of the questions surrounding the VHS football coach. This is a personnel matter that is currently under investigation; therefore I am not at liberty to discuss details about the topic.”

On Monday, a video surfaced of a recording of an alleged conversation between former VHS Touchdown Club director Mike “Nub” Nelson and Propst.

During the conversation, a person believed to be Propst alleged the University of Georgia and Alabama paid recruits anywhere from $90,000 to $100,000 to sign or stay with their respective institutions.

Propst is facing a separate issue from the recording, and it is related to former Valdosta QB Jake Garcia. Propst last month told the newspaper that he was unaware of being the focus of an investigation and Valdosta City Schools is reviewing allegations made against the coach in a recent court deposition.

Garcis is one of multiple players mentioned in a deposition. He played one game for the Wildcats before he was ruled ineligible by the Georgia High School Association. Garcia eventually moved to Grayson High School in Gwinnett County near Atlanta, and led the Rams to a state championship.
