“I started playing tackle football in 4th grade, and flag football was before then,” he said. “4th grade is where things took a turn.” Over the years, Aiden’s commitment to the game has been clear. By the time he reached his freshman year, Aiden was named Defensive MVP which is given out once a year showing your hard dedication.

“I loved freshman year football. It was probably my best year of football. I won defensive MVP, and we went undefeated as a team,” Aiden said.
