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

Football has became a passion for Dylan. He loves the toughness and the hard work. He’s never had drive for much until football. He wants to do good in everything in life like grades sportsmanship and leadership and that is truthfully thanks to football. It gives him the drive he needed. He works year round on agility and strength. He tries to be better any chance he can.


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

Dylan’s biggest inspiration is Brian Dawkins (weapon X). Dylan calls himself (Weapon D) after him. He said he loves how he’s calm and chill until he hits the flied then the beast comes out. He watches all his past plays and interviews and takes it all in. Dylan is Captain of the linebackers on his team and takes his roll so serious. I believe Brian Dawkins impacted his passion for the sport completely.


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

There is so many in his 10 years of life. If I had to choose one I’d say when he completed a tackle over his shoulder nearly identical to one of Brian Dawkins tackles. It makes me proud because he studied him and his tackles and he succeeded exactly what he was trying to do.
