Raz is loyal to his teammates and enjoys motivating them, especially when they were struggling on the field and losing the game. He became known as "The Hypeman" because he was such a strong positive influence and motivator.
Raz is inspired by his mom. She is a single mom of 4 boys who has worked hard while going to nursing school so that she could provide for them alone. Raz is also inspired by his grandpa who would take him to practice, and we never miss a game.
Raz doesn't get much time on the field sometimes, but when he does, he always has a game changing play such as fumble recovery or blocking players sometimes a foot taller than him. He never gets discouraged. Raz is very good at deescalating situations both on and off the field. He is an amazing 11 year old.
