Jett

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

Jett has always had a strong passion for football. He was in full pads at 3 years old playing with his brother in the yard, full contact. He could really throw at 2 and we always joked that he would be a quarterback one day. He has a very humble heart and even though he is a stand out athlete, he never looks down on anyone or feels like he’s the best. He loves his teammates that help him be able to be the QB that he is.

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

Jett’s biggest inspiration aside from his favorite college/NFL players would be his big brother. He’s grown up with a single mom and his older brother has always filled the “man role” in our home and he absolutely hung the moon in his eyes. As mentioned before, he had him suited up at 3 doing hitting drills in the yard and would throw for him to catch and he watched him play before he was even old enough to. He has always looked up to him and wanted to be just like him

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

His humbleness. Everyone around him brags on him but you will never hear him brag on himself. He is the first to help a player up, whether on his team or the opponent’s, and has the BEST sportsmanship of any kid i’ve ever known. He prays before the games and knows that greater is He who is in him.
