Receive Text UpdatesFor Jaxson, football is all about the action and the feeling of belonging. Since he absolutely hates being bored and loves to stay busy, the fast-paced, physical energy of the game is exactly what he needs. More than anything, the football field is one of the places (along with the wrestling mat!) where he truly feels his best and where he belongs. He loves the grind and has the grit for it—even when he gets knocked down or hurt, his passion for the sport gets him right back out there!
Jaxson gets his inspiration on and off the field from two main guys: Deion Sanders and his dad. Deion gives him that 'Prime Time' swagger—reminding him to stay stylish, confident, and to bring electric energy to every single play. But his dad is his real-life hero. He is the one who taught Jaxson his grit, supports him through every tough hit, and shares a bond over the game that makes the football field feel like home.
Proudest moment t isn't just one touchdown or one wrestling match. Our proudest moment was watching how he handled adversity this past year. He suffered a severe broken toe, and didn't let it hold him down. He showed a level of maturity and grit that blew us away. Watching him take a hard hit from life, bounce back, and return to the places where he truly belongs is hands-down the proudest we have ever been. He doesn't just play hard—he fights back hard. TRUE PASSION 💪🏈🤼♂️
