Jesse's Sophomore Year he got injured towards the end of the season. He was benched the last 3 games. His spirit was down but what made us the proudest was even at his worst, he never missed a practice, showed up for his teammates on game days and coached and supported them to the end right on the sidelines. His devotion to his team, coaches and the sport is what made him into the leader he is today.
