He lives for football! A true leader who trains hard and reads the field like no other — that’s why he’s Athlete of the Year!

Football is where I feel most like myself. It helps me release everything I’m holding in and turn it into something positive. I see the field differently — I lead my team, read plays fast, and stay locked in. I play with heart, not just skill. Every snap is a chance to grow and show how much this game means to me.
My dad inspires me because he believes in me and always holds me to a high standard. His confidence pushes me to grow, stay focused, and become the best version of myself — not just in sports, but as a future man.
What makes me proudest isn’t just one moment — it’s his constant love, passion, and dedication to the game. No matter the outcome, he shows up with heart, pushes through challenges, and leads with purpose. Watching him grow into the player and young man he’s becoming… that’s everything.
