Jaxon

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

Football taught Jaxon grit and patience. Being told “not yet” made him sharper, not discouraged. He stayed focused, kept learning, and when the shot finally came, he made it count. That mindset carries into his honors-level classes, where he stays on top of school just like the playbook. He’s grown into a leader who works hard, listens well, and knows success is earned, not handed over.

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

His older brother (17) Carter is his hero. Jaxon watched him grind through rehab after tearing his meniscus—and it taught him healing is part of greatness. That comeback shaped Jaxon’s mindset: toughness means fighting smart. He also studies some of the greatest from McNabb to Favre, for their old-school grit and channels Josh Allen’s fearless energy. Jaxon loves ESPN Classic and any electrifying sports clips!

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

After years in the trenches, Jaxon finally got his shot at QB, when his Coach, gave him an opportunity to lead the team. First game— launches a perfect passes, no celebrations, just focus, on remainder of the game. It wasn’t just a pass, it was a turning point, where he was finally validated in front of his peers and coaches. That moment meant everything to Jaxon. After seasons of waiting his turn and his own quiet grind, he accomplished his goal and continues to work towards his interests!
