What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

As a third baseman, quarterback, he loves his sports because each position challenges him in unique ways and fuels his passion for competition. On the baseball field, playing third base sharpens his reflexes and demands focus, giving him a rush every time he makes a big defensive play. As a quarterback, he thrives on the responsibility of leading his team, reading defenses, and making split-second decisions that can change the course of a game.


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

Michael Penix Jr because of his resilience, work ethic, and the way he’s overcome adversity to reach the top of his game. Despite facing multiple major injuries early in his career, Penix never let setbacks define him.


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

My proudest moment was taking my team to the playoffs for the first time since 2014 it was an indescribable feeling—like a long-awaited dream finally becoming a reality. For years, it felt like the team was on the verge, but never quite broke through. To finally get there, after so much hard work, patience, and perseverance, is a massive weight lifted off everyone’s shoulders. There’s a sense of pride not just for the accomplishment, but for all the years of effort that led to this moment
