We map the journey from porch rules and legacy expectations to a crash that rewrote the plan, then to a comeback that finished the old vision and opened a bigger calling. Faith reframes pressure as privilege, and mentorship becomes a lifelong vow to build others.

• growing up third in a namesake line and guarded by a praying grandmother
• crossing the tracks into private school and learning new literacies
• leadership formed in the classroom before dominance on the field
• national recruiting and the weight of communal expectation
• the hydroplane crash, neck fusion, and God’s waiting room
• TDC method for transition: time, distance, covering
• fatherhood, coaching, and a purpose-built comeback at Boston College
• choosing family over fantasy during COVID-era setbacks
• recommitting to Christ and stepping into scholarship and teaching
• mentorship as a lifelong commitment, not a feel-good project
