He loves running the ball and scoring as many touchdowns as he can. They call him 'Fast Eddie'—he’s quick and powerful. He leads by example, always striving to guide his team to victory. Passionate and encouraging, he inspires others to share the same love for the game.
He is inspired by his grandfather, a talented soccer player who was drafted to play in the U.S. from Guatemala. His grandfather was an exceptional athlete, known for his grace, skill, and deep love for the game.
When he realized that his family could no longer afford to support multiple sports due to financial constraints with other siblings also involved in sports, he took it upon himself to start working to help cover the costs. Embracing football, he chose to focus solely on the sport. Now, he’s determined to play at the collegiate level.
