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

What they love most is the pure passion and energy that comes with every moment on the field. It’s the rush of competition, the thrill of making a big play, and the bond built with teammates through hard work and trust. More than just a game, it’s a lifestyle a place to grow, lead, and push beyond limits. Every snap, every rep, every challenge is a chance to be better than yesterday. That’s what fuels the love for the sport.

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

The biggest inspiration comes from his uncle, who made a promise to teach him how to be a quarterback but sadly passed away before they could truly begin that journey. His uncle believed in him early on, saw something special, and planted the first seed of confidence and passion for the game. Even though he’s no longer here, that promise lives on in every throw, every practice, and every goal. Playing quarterback isn’t just about the position it’s about honoring his uncle’s belief in him.

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

The proudest moment came when the entire city doubted him counted him out, overlooked his work, and questioned his ability. But instead of folding, he rose above it all. That same week, while carrying the weight of doubt, he was also carrying a heavy heart as his uncle’s wife someone he was incredibly close to was placed on hospice. With all that emotion, he stepped up, led his team, and won a championship ring. That moment wasn’t just about winning a ring it was about faith.
