Karson loves playing football because it pushes him to be his best every day. He loves the challenge, the energy, and the chance to compete. But most of all, he loves being part of a team a brotherhood where everyone has each other’s backs. Football teaches him discipline, hard work, and heart. Whether he’s making a big play or cheering from the sidelines, Karson gives it his all and loves every second on the field.
Karson is inspired by his uncle Saquon Barkley both on and off the field. Saquon’s incredible work ethic, passion for football, and dedication to his teammates motivate Karson to push himself every day. Off the field, Saquon shows Karson the importance of humility, kindness, and giving back to the community. Because of Saquon, Karson knows that being a great athlete means more than just playing hard it’s about leading with heart and character
One moment that made me the proudest was when Karson didn’t give up after a tough game. Even though things didn’t go his way, he stayed positive, encouraged his teammates, and worked even harder at practice the next day. That showed me his true character that being an athlete isn’t just about winning, but about heart, resilience, and lifting others up.
