Any donations will help. BJ attended a Combine in Atlanta and competed against some of the best athletes in his age group and ranked amongst the top players in the south. He has been chose to compete in a ALL AMERICAN game with the best athletes in his age group across the US. This another one of BJ's dreams that have come true! He has worked very hard to become the athlete that he is today and this would be one of his many rewards in his future. Below you will find a snipet of BJ's journey.
THIS KIDS eats sleeps and breathes football! He has a book of olays that he has created and all. He has been playin football for the last 4 years as a linemen. To say the least for most of that time he was overweight and SLOW but had a true desire to play a "skilled" position. He wanted to play QB or WR but no one would let him other than maybe a play or two just to stop him from asking, lol! I remember days he would come home from practice and literally cry in my arms because he said no one would give him a chance even after he worked hard on loosing weight and increasing his speed and skills. All they wanted to do was put him on the line (which he was GREAT at). Even when he went to try outs for school ball/ spring training he told them he wanted to be a WR & yup u guessed it ... They put him on the line. Ppl laughed when I would tell them my son is gonna be a WR or QB cause he was to BIG AND SLOW. I Have always told my children they can be what they wanna be but it doesn't come without hard work cause no one in this world is gonna give u a THING. Well, then there's this one guy that have my baby a chance. He trained him, worked with him, and motivated him & most of all BELIEVED IN HIM and today, The fruits of their labor prevailed!! My son scored 7 touchdowns and played both QB & WR ! I'm not bragging IJS when one person shuts a door in ur face, that is not the end. Find another one, kick it open and once u have the opportunity u MUST RISE TO THE OCCASION!
