The National Championship for College Football is this coming Monday January 12th between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks.
There are so many interesting and inspiring coaches and players on both teams. Regardless of who you might be routing for (or against) it is good to admire the virtues and accomplishments of those involved.
I was blessed to be able to speak with one of the Ohio State players last night, Bryce Haynes. He is #41 and is the Long Snapper on punts and kicks. We do not hear about the Long Snapper too often. Many times a hidden member of the team yet vital.
Bryce is a SportsLeader graduate if you will. He attended Pinecrest Academy in Cumming, GA and was a part of one of the first teams to integrate our virtue program into their school.
He is the first long snapper in recent memory to be signed to a scholarship by the Buckeyes right out of high school. A scholar-athlete and member of the National Honor Society in high school, he also has maintained a 3.5 GPA in biology/pre-med studies.
An outstanding role model. Please share!
Special thanks to Bryce's Dad, Dr Bill Haynes, for all the photos.
Virtue = Strength, Lou Judd
