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

Jacobi loves football and sports because he loves being active, challenging himself, and being part of a team. He brings energy, dedication, and a positive attitude wherever he goes. Most importantly, he is passionate about the game and genuinely cares about his teammates.


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

His mom and brother are his biggest inspirations, always encouraging him to work hard, stay determined, and be the best version of himself both on and off the field. His coach, Ontae, has also made a lasting impact by teaching him the importance of teamwork, discipline, and believing in himself.


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

My proudest moment was watching him and his team make it to NFL Flag Nationals at just 10 years old. Seeing all their hard work, dedication, and teamwork pay off was an incredible moment. I couldn’t have been more proud of him and everything he accomplished on that field.
