De’Quan loves football because it fuels his passion, challenges his skills, and gives him a strong sense of teamwork and discipline. He thrives on the energy of the game, the strategy behind every play, and the bond with his teammates. Football helps him stay focused, build confidence, and push his limits both physically and mentally. It’s more than a sport to him—it’s a source of purpose, joy, and personal growth.
De’Quan’s dad inspires him on and off the field through his unwavering support, strong work ethic, and dedication to family. He leads by example, showing De’Quan the value of discipline, perseverance, and integrity. Whether cheering from the sidelines or offering guidance at home, his dad’s encouragement motivates De’Quan to push harder, stay focused, and strive for greatness in football and in life.
As DeQuan’s proud mom, my proudest moment is watching him stay true to his character on and off the field. He presents himself as a hardworking, dedicated football player, always giving 100% and leading by example. His grace, compassion, and support for teammates—especially when they fall short—show his true heart. DeQuan’s commitment, integrity, and team spirit make me proud every day, not just as an athlete, but as the amazing young man he is.
