Coach Wilkie Perez

Coach Wilkie Perez (aka Coach Wilkie), head football coach for Miami Beach Senior High since 2024/2025 and girls flag football coach starting in 2025/2026, is in the process of building high-achieving boys & girls football programs at MBSH.  Prior to his arrival at MBSH, the boys football team had only 23 players; in his first year as head coach, that number rose to 65 players due to his inspirational leadership and the amount of buzz generated from MBSH landing a football coach with significant bona fides. 

Coach Wilkie has privately coached quarterbacks for a # of years via QB1 Prep Academy, the position he played in college while setting four (4) Division II NCAA records at Glenville State University (West Virginia) in offense: (1) most yards gained - game, (2) most yards gained - season, (3) most passing yards - game and (4) most passing yards - season.  Some of his private quarterback students have gone on to play Division I NCAA college football.  

One of Coach Wilkie's former QB students is Indiana University QB and 2025 Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, who played high school football for Christopher Columbus High School in Miami.
