The tryouts gave me more confidence in my abilities and I found I was better prepared for the start of my spring season.ā

Dylan is well aware that he must do well academically in order to play football after high school.
āI realize that my GPA has a big impact on my ability to play university football,ā Dylan says. āAfter graduating high school, I plan to head to university and study in the field of sciences. I am thinking about a veterinary degree.ā
