To call
@cameronepps7
a DB, weapon, or even an ATH doesn’t do justice to the magic he pulls off on the field. This dude’s position is “ballplayer” because whether you ask him to run, throw, catch, kick, cover, tackle, or block, he’s gonna make it look good. Congrats!
#estovir
This is a MASSIVE moment for a kid who’s certainly put in the work!
@NickDivis
is a leader among leaders, a versatile DB who can play all over the field, a high academic kid, and a fantastic teammate!!! Congratulations Nick!!! You deserve this!

One of the great privileges of coaching is watching the growth of young men as they discover themselves.
