Jayon

My son is a senior and he’s been held back so long from a program that didn’t allow him to shine but he never gave up!

Placed 12th

in their group

Thank you for supporting Jayon in this competition. Your participation made a huge impact for the Why Not You Foundation and their mission to empower change in the world, one individual at a time and one child at a time.

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

He loves it because he’s able to dominate in his position and any position he’s put in

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

My son uncle who passed away was his first football and basketball coach so he plays both sports in remembrance of his uncle “Moochie” Bobby Coe

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

Being and over achieving individual, he constantly makes me proud I don’t have just one proud moment, but if I had to choose I would say when he was playing basketball and his opponents had previously injured him he took it out on the court when he dunked the ball and yell this my house I was very proud!!!
