What they love most about playing their sport is the adrenaline, the competition, and the brotherhood. Every time they step on the field, it’s a chance to prove themselves, grow, and be part of something bigger. The grind, the wins, even the losses — it all fuels their passion. They live for the big moments, the crowd, the energy, and knowing all the hard work is paying off. It’s not just a game — it’s their purpose
He’s inspired by Shedeur Sanders because of the way he carries himself on and off the field. Shedeur plays with confidence, poise, and proves that hard work, faith, and believing in yourself can take you far.

Seeing someone young, driven, and making history reminds him that anything is possible with focus and dedication
One of the proudest moments in his athletic journey was when he earned the starting QB spot at Randolph Middle as just a 7th grader. Competing with older players and still rising to the top showed his dedication, talent, and leadership. It proved he wasn’t just playing the game—he was built for it. That moment showed everyone what we already knew: he’s different.
