Receive Text UpdatesWhat he loves most about playing football is the feeling of being part of something bigger than himself. He loves his teammates, the brotherhood they have built, and knowing that everyone has a role to play. As a lineman, he takes pride in doing the work that doesn't always get the most attention but is so important to the team's success.
Who Inspires Him On and Off the Field As his mom, I would say that my son inspires himself just as much as the people around him inspire him. He has always had a strong drive to push himself, work hard, and become the best version of himself. At only 13 years old, he understands that success takes discipline, sacrifice, and dedication.
What makes me most proud during my son's football journey is watching him grow into a young man who understands the value of hard work, commitment, and being there for others. Of course, I am incredibly proud when I see him make a great play on the field, but what means even more to me is seeing the person he is becoming.
