Congratulations to Stone Booth on his commitment to continue his academic and athletic career at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Arizona.

Stone’s work ethic, dedication, and growth on and off the field have earned this opportunity, and we are excited to see what’s next for him.

A huge thank you to his family, coaches, and everyone who has supported him throughout the journey.

“Even though I haven’t been here for very long, DD8 has felt like a brotherhood, and I’m grateful to have played the last part of my youth career with them. Thank you to all the coaches who helped me navigate the college recruiting process, and for pushing my abilities and standards. Your belief in my potential enabled me to pursue my dream of playing at the next level.

The high level competition with DD8 was vital for improving my performance, and playing in UPSL has also raised my bar in terms of consistently maintaining high quality. In addition, DD8 academy offered me opportunities in Spain and France where I gained impactful international experience.

I want to give a special thanks to my parents who have continued to support my dedication and perseverance ever since I started playing town ball. They refused to let me give up on myself and I would not be where I am without them.”
