Joshua loves the brotherhood, the grind, and the Saturday night lights. After four years with Gardena Youth Football, stepping into his 9th grade season at Millikan as a running back, and outside linebacker is more than just a new chapter—it’s a dream in motion.
Joshua is inspired by his mom, who always pushes him to stay focused and give 100% in everything he does. On the field, he looks up to players who lead with heart and hustle—because for him, it’s not just about talent, it’s about effort and attitude.
One of the proudest moments in Joshua’s athletic journey was watching him score his first touchdown—just after recovering from a broken wrist. It showed his resilience, courage, and love for the game. He never let the setback stop him
