He values the camaraderie and the lifelong friendships he's built along the way. Every time he steps on the field, he gives it everything he’s got. Heart of a lion, without a doubt.
Ryker is deeply inspired by his dad and uncle—both lifelong athletes who lit the fire for his passion early on. From the moment he could suit up, he did so with purpose, carrying their legacy onto the field. Their lessons, discipline, and love for the game are etched into his mindset.

One moment that makes me proudest in Ryker’s athletic journey isn’t tied to a single game or play—it’s his relentless drive to push through, no matter the circumstance. As a team leader, he refuses to back down. Whether battling injury, exhaustion, or adversity, he shows up with heart and grit every time. It’s that self-determination, that unshakable discipline, that sets him apart. Watching him rise above challenges not just for himself, but for his team—that’s what truly makes me proud.
