Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My Gramp inspires me. He has always been there for me. I started playing football since I was 5 yrs old and he never missed my practices or games. He was the best positive male role model that I've ever had. He was a hard worker up until he passed away. It's been 8 years since he's been gone and he still inspires me to be the best I can be.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

After he got into his accident on the field last season, he didn't let that stop him. He wasn't able to practice or play but he was still there. He was helping out his teammates and coaches. He went to all his doctor appointments and did what he needed to do to get back on the field this year. He didn't give up.
