Getting off the bus – Justus Sheffield

Gazing out the window of a cramped bus and bumping the latest Drake album, Justus Sheffield reminisces about his journey thus far, as his next chapter is set to begin.

It started back in Tullahoma, Tennessee, where Justus played football, basketball, and baseball growing up. Oddly enough, baseball was his least favorite of the three. Once he reached high school, however, and saw his older brother Jordan dominate on the diamond, it wasn’t long before Justus wanted to step up his game.

“I never really fully liked baseball until 9th grade, I was always big on basketball, but I loved football more than anything,” he says.
