Never giving up on a dream

Four years ago, I was a high school senior finishing up the football season at Good Counsel High School in Olney, Maryland. I had played football my whole life, but at this point, my future as a football player was in question. I wanted to play at the next level, but no one was willing to take a chance on a 5-foot-7, 150-pound slot receiver. February of 2014 rolled around, and I still had nowhere to play in college. I always wanted to play college football. However, I realized my time as a player might be coming to an end.
