Juwan said, “All of these family members have supported, helped and loved me since I put on the pads and are very proud of my academic and athletic accomplishments.
Juwan has learned to enjoy the game of football “which I first thought was just a game of tag.” He also participated in basketball, track and swimming. His last year in basketball was his sophomore year. He swam as a junior but the team was cut in his senior season.

Lastly, I thank our coaches and community for their spirit in the Big Red tradition.”
